hi,
i want to creat playlist that play multiple video file like this,but i can't find anyway to do this , so i ask for help .If you know how to do or a software can do this ,please tell me
the process will look like this :


video1.avi [start position] to [end postition]
video2.avi [start position] to [end postition]
video3.avi [start position] to [end postition]
......
[start position] to [end postition] is the time of videos such as
4:01 (241 sec) , 3:02 (182 sec)

the player will jump to [start position] of video1 , play to [end postion] of video1
then jump to [start position] of video2 ,play to [end postion] of video2
....

the start and end postion of each video will be save ,such as will be set manual by player ,then save to playlist file , or even better we can edit it by open playlist file by text editor ....

sorry for bad english

MPlayer (not Windows Media Player!) has command line options for everything. ;) But why don't you cut and merge those video(segment)s instead?

You're looking at the wrong file: you need the manual, not the documentation. ;) See the "edl" options at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html and the definition for EDL files at http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/edl.html.
