I am trying to modify a movie playback by using a .edl file and a mixture of cut and mute, but I am running into a problem.

For simplicity here is an example of what is going on.

In the .edl file I can enter:
10 12 0
which properly cuts the scene.

In the .edl file I can enter
20 22 1
which properly mutes the scene

But if I combine the two:
10 12 0
20 22 1
It locks up the playback. Sometimes I can still here the audio, but the video freezes.

Any ideas? Also, if there is a better way to mute and skip scenes, please advise.

Thanks.

How about investigating avidemux for linux or windows

Thanks I'll check that out.

Thanks for the link to the avidemux software. That seems to be a very useful tool.

Since I already have the video file, I really don't want to have to recompile the video after editing it. The .edl file is supposed to do exactly what I am wanting to do, it just isn't working properly. I really like the idea of just adding a start and stop time to a file to exclude scenes.

Any other ideas?

More Info.

If I use MPlayer to play the video, it utilizes the edl file without any problems. This seems to be an issue within Kodi. I have tried versions 17 and 18, but they both have the same issue.
