Dunno for splicing video & audio together I just use ffmpeg. Once you understand the cmdline well enough, watching the segments in VLC, making notes of positions and then constructing a shell script gets the job done nicely.
On a side note, I've been to a bunch of TV & movie studios over the years and never once have I seen someone editing video on a Mac. Its always been a PC or Amiga Video Toaster, an Irix box, or even Solaris machines (if you've got Comcast, most of the digital cable is transcoded and sequenced on Solaris boxes to provide support for localizing commercial sequences). Where does the misconception come from that people edit video on Mac's in a professional context? Is there some mystery I/O hub that even appears missing from ebay that attaches to them? Further beyond commodity codecs supported by x86 and/or gpu's, do they make encoding accelerators that are even supported on OS X?
