In a similar (but not exactly the same) scenario, my input files are produced  
from a Digital TV USB receiver (DVB) and recorded by Kaffeine, which produces 
files in MPEG TS (transport stream) format, usually with junk/commercials  
before and/or after the show. The first step is to remove all the junk using 
dvbcut ( available from Packman, or http://dvbcut.sourceforge.net ) with a 
series of start and stop markers (it has also chapters and bookmarks, that I 
don't use); dvbcut exports the results in MPEG PS (program stream) files that 
can be used as inputs by DVDStyler and other dvdauthor front-ends. I prefer to 
export each chapter as a different MPG file in dvbcut, and then import each 
chapter in DVDStyler, which arranges and organizes the DVD menus and buttons.
