Can an EDL file yield a VPRJ file without rerunning Comskip?

[dmiraclejr]

I have about 160 episodes of a tv show that have been already run through comskip to yield an EDL file. I now want to cut the commercials out with Videoredo after using those existing EDL files to yield VPRJ files for use in Videoredo. I remember when EDL files came about that my txt files were easily used to create new EDL files almost instantaneously.

Can this be done without rerunning about 160 episodes through comskip?

Thanks.

Try --videoredo

I'm not sure if it will just read all the edl file or you have to specify them. May be easier to just rerun comskip.

Usage:
comskip [-h|--help] [-w|--debugwindow] [-n|--playnice] [--zpcut] [--zpchapter] [--videoredo] [--csvout] [-m|--demux] [-p|--pid=<string>] [-t|--ts] [-d|--detectmethod=<int>] [-v|--verbose=<int>] [-u|--dump=<int>] [--ini=<file>] [--logo=<file>] [--cut=<file>] <file>

-h, --help Display syntax
-w, --debugwindow Show debug window
-n, --playnice Slows detection down
--zpcut Outputs a ZoomPlayer cutlist
--zpchapter Outputs a ZoomPlayer chapter file
--videoredo Outputs a VideoRedo cutlist
--csvout Outputs a csv of the frame array
-m, --demux Demux the input into elementary streams
-p, --pid=<string> The PID of the video in the TS
-t, --ts The input file is a Transport Stream
-d, --detectmethod=<int> An integer sum of the detection methods to use
-v, --verbose=<int> Verbose level
-u, --dump=<int> Dump the cutscene at this frame number
--ini=<file> Ini file to use
--logo=<file> Logo file to use
--cut=<file> CutScene file to use
<file> Input file

Detection methods available:
1 - Black Frame
2 - Logo
4 - Scene Change
8 - Fuzzy Logic
16 - Closed Captions
32 - Aspect Ratio
64 - Silence
128 - CutScenes
255 - USE ALL AVAILABLE

Errors:
ComSkip: missing option <file>

If you install my VideoEdit plugin you can load in each MPG and then save the cut file type that you want. So in other words you can convert from edl to Vprj.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up just deleting all those edl files and let comskip and the overclocked E6300 do their thing for about 10 hrs. Easy problem solved.

Thanks again.

You may want to look at the video editing plugin anyway. It allows you to easily and quickly tune the commercial markings so that they are perfect.
