[mythtv-users] OT: Mac OSX Simple Cutting

So, I have the opening ceremonies for the olympics, but I failed to  
remove the commercials before copying it to my powerbook g4 1.33. I  
already transcoded the 21gb HD video down to a 3.5gb xvid recording,  
so quicktime pro won't open it. I was wondering if the mac users out  
there have a good suggestion for a cheap, simple program to use to cut  
the commercials (which I have to go in and manually mark) out, and  
possibly break this file into several smaller files, so I can place it  
on CDs (yea, I know, just use a DVD... too bad my dvd burner is in  
storage, and inaccessible for the time being)

I have Quicktime pro, Final Cut Studio, ffmpegX, MPEG Streamclip and  
VisualHub. I don't have iMovie (though I have the install disk  
somewhere, also in storage) installed, so other suggestions are  
welcome. Otherwise I'll be converting it to a Quicktime compatible  
format and using QT to cut it apart. I'd rather not do that. Thanks.
