[FFmpeg-user] Auto segment using EDL?

Hello everyone! :)

FFmpeg's segment muxer [1] is very useful and very configurable already, 
and I was wondering if FFmpeg supports a way of splitting based on 
something like segment/timeline information given in an additional 
(text)file?

Something along the idea of an Edit Decision List (EDL) [2], but I'd 
already be happy for some rudimentary support like "start/stop/name".

I'd finally like to get rid of my yet-another-bash-wrapper hacks ;)



I'm grateful for any suggestions,
Peter B.
