I captured a tv episode in mpeg2, but I am not able to cut out commercials in dvd2avi, so that I can encode in GKnot. What can I do?

The safest way of removing the commercials, without risking the possibility of having the audio and video go out of synchronization, would be to first do a conversion to .AVI of the UNEDITED MPEG2 file. Then use VirtualDub to edit out the commercials...
Cutting with VirtualDub (or any of its variants):
1)Load your original (DivX-compressed or otherwise) .AVI into VirtualDub
2) Set BOTH "Video" and "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copying"
3) Move slider to the starting point of the scene you wish to delete
4) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Go to next keyframe"
5) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection Start"
6) Move slider to the ending point of the scene you wish to delete
7) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Go to next keyframe"
8) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Set Selection End'
9) From the "Edit" dropdown menu, select "Delete frames"
10) Save with a new filename
