Sorry for that, my mail client is configured to not wrap lines

But...

For me it's not problem anymore, i did it with -frames parameter... I've just
converted seconds to frames:
Command:
	mencoder -nosound -noskip -noaspect -hr-edl-seek -sws 9 \
	-o output.avi -ovc x264 -x264encopts <parameters> \
	input1.mkv -frames 8773 -vf <filters> \
	input2.mkv -edl skipb_1.edl -frames 201 -vf <filters> \
	input1.mkv -edl skipb_2.edl -vf <filters>
skipb_1.edl:
	0 365.9072083 0
skipb_2.edl:
	0 374.2905833 0


Anyway, when i play this movie with mplayer, it shows how long it is, so
mencoder should know too... So if it knows, it should compare value in edl
file with movie length...
