[Peter Darley]

Joseph,
	Great!  Thanks for sharing this.
	I haven't had a chance to mess around with it yet, but I'll take a look at
it.
Thanks,
Peter Darley

Here's a Perl script I cobbled together for MPlayer.  It requires you to
set up your .lircrc with a keybinding for mplayer's "edl_mark" command.
When watching a movie, it will check for the presence of an EDL (Edit
Decision List) file for that movie, and skip to the latest timecode
specified in the file.  IIRC, it removes the EDL file upon playback, so
next time you start it (if you haven't set another bookmark) it will
start from the beginning.

NB- This script also does funky stuff for auto-enabling subtitles,
aspect and aspect ratio detection (I like to move widescreen movies to
the top of my 4:3 screen and display subtitles in the giant black bar
at the bottom).

YMMV.
