To edit DVB recordings, and if you need the result as an mpeg file 
(which would be directly suitable for producing a video DVD), i recommend:
0) ignore the idx file, only the ts file contains the recording
1) Demultiplex the ts file using ProjectX (from the packman repository 
or 
http://www.lucike.info/index.htm?http://www.lucike.info/page_projectx.htm). 
You will get an m2v file containing the video track only and an mp2 
and/or ac3 file with the audio track(s)
2) Multiplex the results on the command line as follows:
mplex -f 8 -o <outputfile> <m2v file> < ac3 or mp2 file>
substitute the real file names for the stuff in the brackets.

3) edit the output file using dvbcut (*dvbcut*.sourceforge.net)

maybe dvbcut can open the ts file directly, but I recommend steps 1 and 
2 because DVB broadcasts often contain transmission errors and projectX 
corrects them during multiplexing.

If you need the result as an avi file, insert a resize filter in 
avidemux which corrects the aspect ratio to the right value (for PAL 
SDTV it is 720x576, dont know what it is for NTSC)
