Hi
I have a lot of recordings .ts with associated .edl chapter markers.
I was wanting to compress these using handbrake.
Ideally I'd like to use the chapter markers from the edl file, however handbrake only imports .csv files
Is there a way to convert the edl into csv format?
I tried re-running comskip on a recording using --csvout however it didn't convert/use the existing edl it just re-ran comskip.
Thanks
Kiwi

Re: Converting .edl into .csv
On further reading csv is probably not a chapter file for use with mkv.
When I use handbrake to encode my .ts recording it asks for a chapter file and the format is *.csv
Basically I want to create mkvs of my .ts recordings with chapter markers for the commercial breaks
I do not want to remove the commercial breaks.
Is this possible?

Yes, better use one of the comskip xml output formats that has a data format almost as the csv format you need

Re: Converting .edl into .csv
thanks,
i didn't realise comskip could output xml
mkvmerge supports .xml, .csv , .txt format for chapter files, but can't read the .txt produced by comskip. I will try .xml
is there a way to get comskip to run quickly to produce the xml on a file that is already fully processed by comskip and has an exist .txt chapter file?

Re: Converting .edl into .csv
No, only when you have produced a .csv file you can re-run comskip on the .csv file
When you set
verbose=10
comskip will list all possible settings in the log file together with their default of actual values.
