Eek. No, dvdauthor won't do it. However, you can reencode the file
with mencoder or ffmpeg. ffmpeg is probably easiest: `ffmpeg -i
input.mpg -target ntsc-dvd -r 29.970 output.mpg`

I don't know of a good GUI editor to do these things. If you don't
mind CLIness, they can be done pretty easily with mencoder, using
EDLs, which let you specify time ranges to be chopped out. You can
probably also do it with chapters using dvdauthor; it's very flexible
in that respect.
