As suggested, a non linear editing tool should work.

You do NOT have to reencode the video (and get quality loss) since every 8
frames or so has a keyfram, so as long as the cuts are done at a keyframe,
you don't have to reencode anything.

I have certainly made nice working DVDs with kdenlive and I sure won't
claim to know what I am doing.
