 Can FFMPEG add support to read an EDL file to cut video files while
 encoding?
 this is something similar to what mencoder does.

 EDL format is very simple, it consists of 3 tab delimited columns

 StartTimeStamp   EndTimeStamp   0
 .....

 Basically it gives the start and end time stamps for cutting
 video/skipping video while encoding a file. Each row represents a start
 and end time stamp for cutting/leaving video out of the final conversion.

 It would be of great help instead of trying to cut a video into pieces and
 trying to merge it back together, which is a nightmare!
