Here are the samples scripts to fulfill some simple editing tasks like trimming, edition out some porions and joinin some files.

1. Initial file is windows media - input.WMV of 10 minutes length, with one video and one audio stream.
We want to to trim a portion from 4 to 7 minutes and save it as an output1.WMV
<timeline> 
   <group name="C:\video\result\output1.WMV"> 
       <track video="1" audio="1" obey_sample_times="0"> 
           <clip src="C:\video\input.WMV" start="00:04:00.00"    stop="00:07:00.00"/> 
       </track> 
    </group> 
</timeline>
 
2. Initial file is windows media - input.WMV of 10 minutes length, with one video and one audio stream. 
We want to cut out any 3 parts from input

 

(#[1] 1 min 30 sec - 3 min 20 sec )
(#[2] 5 min 00 sec - 6 min 00 sec )
(#[3] 8 min 10 sec - 9 min 10 sec )

and save an output without set fragments as an output2.WM

<timeline> 
   <group name="C:\video\result\output2.WMV"> 
       <track video="1" audio="1" obey_sample_times="0"> 
           <clip src="C:\video\input.WMV" start="00:01:30.00"    stop="00:03:20.00"/> 
           <clip src="C:\video\input.WMV" start="00:05:00.00"    stop="00:06:00.00"/> 
           <clip src="C:\video\input.WMV" start="00:08:10.00"    stop="00:09:10.00"/> 
       </track> 
    </group> 
</timeline> 

 

3. We have a set of Windows Media files with same video/audio paramenters (for example output1.WMV output2.WMV) and want to merge them to one single file - join_output3.WMV

<timeline>
   <group name="C:\video\result\join_output3.WMV" mode="joining">
      <track  video="-1" audio="-1">
         <clip src="C:\video\result\output1.WMV"  start="00:00:00:00" stop="00:00:00:00" />
         <clip src="C:\video\result\output2.WMV"  start="00:00:00:00" stop="00:00:00:00" />
       </track>
    </group>
</timeline>
