I haven't tried any of the advice I am about to impart, but in *theory*....
:-)

Myth has (had?) an inbuilt editor in the Internal player.  It's documented
here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Editing_Recordings

If you transcode a recording with a cutlist it trims the cut parts out.
 This definitely worked well on MPG recordings, so have a go at that.  I
haven't tried it with h264 but it might work?

Another option is OpenShot, reviewed here
http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/642577-making-movies-in-linux-with-openshot-
 It's a proper NLE, so far more advanced than avidemux but supports h264
http://www.openshotvideo.com/2009/07/avchd-h264-aac-and-mts-supported.html

Hopefully one or the other will work for you!

Cheers,
Duncan
