This can for example be used to source audio and +video track from separate files. + +Example:: + + # mpv EDL v0 + video.mkv + !new_stream + audio.mkv + +This adds all tracks from both files to the virtual track list. Upon playback, +the tracks will be played at the same time, instead of appending them. The files +can contain more than 1 stream; the apparent effect is the same as if the second +part after the ``!new_stream`` part were in a separate ``.edl`` file and added +with ``--external-file``. + +Note that all metadata between the stream sets created by ``new_stream`` is +disjoint. Global metadata is taken from the first part only. + +In context of mpv, this is redundant to the ``--audio-file`` and +``--external-file`` options, but (as of this writing) has the advantage that +this will use a unified cache for all streams. + Timestamp format ================ |
