avidemux audio sync problem with MPEG-2 - alt. way to cut mpeg-2

I have a PVR-250 and when I load up an MPEG-2 file that it generated in Avdimux, the audio/video is out of sync (before I make any edits).  My goal is simply to cut out commercials in the file, nothing else. When I play it in any other viewer (vlc, mplayer, etc.) the sync is perfect.  I found that this is known issue with Avidemux.  See below.

Can you guys recommend another piece of software I can use to simply cut parts out of mpeg-2 files?

Taken from mythtv wiki page.  I quoted the relevant text from it here:

Cory Papenfuss noted:
I would just like to add again that this procedure only works 95% of the time for broadcast/cable captures... about 80% of the time for tape transfers. Avidemux cannot deal with chaining A/V sync throughout the file, and this method will have broken sync with one of these unfortunate captures. The author of avidemux acknowledges this limitation, but says a fair bit of internal work would be needed to fix it.
