Yes, as I said create an edl list. It works I just tried it. The program I already created the cut list in has the following cutlist in the database: 0-19681 108330-115380 - this means cut from frame 0 to frame 19681 and from frame 108330 to frame 115380 This is obtained from a search of the database, the cutlist field in the table recorded. The filename is 1051_20050708115800_20050708130500.nuv so I made an edl called 1051_20050708115800_20050708130500.nuv.edl containing: 0 787.2 0 4333.2 4615.2 0 This means cut from zero seconds to 787.2 seconds and from 4333.2 secs to 4615.2 secs numbers were calculated as follows: 19681/25 = 787.2 108330/25= 433.2 etc I use PAL so it is 25 frames per sec. NTSC is something weird like 29.97, but 30 should be accurate enough. then playing with mplayer 1051_20050708115800_20050708130500.nuv -edl \ 1051_20050708115800_20050708130500.nuv.edl plays with the cuts. I did this manually as a trial. It would be easy enough to script. > I assume I'll have to set up a transcoding > profile in Myth first before attempting this? > > Kevin > _______________________________________________ > mythtv-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
