Even if you press 'i', you will need to edit the edl file to make it be the 'inverse' of what was created. Let us say that you have a 30-minute episode of a tv show. You want to get rid of the opening song (1.5 minutes) and the closing song (1.5 minutes.) Write an edl entry to skip the first 1.5 minutes, i.e.: 0 90 0 and another to skip from 28:30 to the end 1710 10000 0 I normally use 10,000 to represent infinity (a timestamp that is larger than the movie) when I want to skip to the end, because I am lazy. What I really want is to tell mencoder to stop processing at 28:30. Maybe that could be done with -endpos. I don't know if -ss and -endpos would confict with -hr-edl-seek. I have not tried it. As I said, I'm lazy. _________________________________________________________________ Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail®. http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_QuickAdd1_052009 _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
