Hey, hey, I never thought about that!  Convert it to mpg with ffmpeg
on the command line and then use DVBCut?  I just tried that and DVBCut
didn't like it too much.  But I was able to shrink the file from 168MB
to 6MB which is acceptable to me.  Would be nice to further cut it as
an mpg but I don't know how much more time I'm willing to invest to do
that.  For what it's worth, here's the line I used to shrink the file
(it was 640x480 and this command cut it down to 320x240):

ffmpeg -i input_file_640x480.avi -ar 22050 -b 500 -s 320x240
output_file_320x240.mpg

Would welcome any other ideas!!!

Thanks!
