Erik, don't know if this is a feature or a bug! If I update commercial positions via the preview screen (with txt file) and then use "w" it updates the txt file but also clears (=0bytes) rather than updates the edl file.
This is with 79.19, I tried an earlier version (79.11 as this fixed an earlier edl problem) and this does not touch the edl file after an update.
Can this be fixed as I like to manually review commercials before sending the file to be transcoded via mencoder.
thanks again for your support.
edl file updating problem
Erik, no, the .edl file remains at 0 bytes. To doublecheck I put the comskip.exe & .ini from the 79.19 zip file in to a directory with the .mpg file. I then edit the .ini file to change output_edl=1 and drop the mpg file onto the comskip.exe. When finished I drop the .txt file onto the .exe, insert a commercial (with "i" - I've also tried without this step) and then write the file (with "w"). The .edl file immediately changes to 0 bytes and this does not change when windows are then closed. Also I can delete the .edl file first and it recreates it but at 0 bytes again.
I've also just tried 79.11 & 79.20 and on 2 different PCs with same result.

Erik, thanks, this works great now with 79.23. However I seem to have same problem at start of recording now. If I edit and add a commercial which starts at the beginning of the recording then "w" does not then include that block in the .edl OR the .txt file.
thanks again for all the support/updates you provide to comskip.
