It comes with a tovid-batch that lets you convert bunches of videos.  I 
had about 30 small videos from my event.  I just did a

batch-tovid -dvd -infiles *.avi

and go off and got lunch.

For that, I normally have them in avi format in the first place.  I use 
avisplit to break them up and avimerge to put them back together.  It's 
a fairly quick and simple way to remove parts I don't want and put it 
back together the way I want.
