I also tried using EDL while encoding, but here is other problem: I want to skip first 6 mnutes, then encode 2 minutes, and skip all the rest. But with -hr-edl-seek enabled it runs forward to realise thata at the end of skipped block is nothing more to encode (last value of edl file is larger than length of movie). This skipping takes about half of hour (because it decodes all skipped frames)....

Can anybody help me?
