Editing MPEG2 streams

I finally got a good, solid MPEG2 copy of the program I wanted, using
"tivoapp" to dump to a tystream, and then "tyconvert" to convert the
resulting stream (and hacking off the first three chunks, for anyone who is
trying this).

So now I went to edit it, and --suprise-- no good way to edit it. I've seen
many posts on how to convert to AVI, edit, then make an MPEG1 stream for
VCD, but I want to keep the final copy as MPEG2 (for DVD writing).

Anyone have any ideas? I've tried DVD2AVI, and I end up with a strange
interlacing problem. And even if I did convert to AVI, I have no clue how
I'd go back to MPEG2.
