I'm trying to use mediafilesegmenter on a video I transcoded with ffmpeg to package it for HLS. However, it complains about "edit lists" and refuses to do anything. Does anyone know how to either remove edit lists or to get mediafilesegmenter to work with them?
$ mediafilesegmenter -I -f 180 -t 9 -s bbb_180p_30fps_264k.mp4
