Playing them using Xine was no problem and it worked under Win32 too since 
there are drivers installed. What I mostly need is a tool that allows me to 
cut some frames out and repack it into a DivX to save storage.
Right now I'm using an awkward solution in Win32 - recode the file with Xmpeg 
into a DivX .avi with high bitrate, extract the sound to a wav. Recombine 
video/sound with VirtualDub (eventually adding a delay to sync them) and 
then I reencode this file with VirtualDub again to the desired framerate 
thereby cutting out the commercials and applying some filters (deinterlace, 
resize).
Not only does this take quite a lot of time - there are also a few files 
which Xmpeg can't encode since there seems to be some errors in the 
beginning. Playing back works well but transcoding doesn't work (picture 
freezes, sounds continues correct).
