  1. Don't get me wrong, I like the theme song, I just don't like it interrupting the episode every time I watch it. Time is precious, doubly so these days.
  2. Hi I didn't know in which section to put this, I hope this belongs here I know there are people who watch the theme song every time and enjoy it, but there are also people who skip it, and I am one of them. Unfortunately, FiM creators decided to have a cold opening, then the theme song, and then the main part of the episode. I own .mkv episode videos bought from iTunes and I've already tried some methods to skip the song. And I'll tell you - if there wasn't the cold opening, it would be easy - I'd just delay the tracks with mkvmerge GUI. Having an unwanted fragment in the MIDDLE complicates things sooo much. mkvmerge GUI is a great tool, but it doesn't support delaying tracks in the middle, nor auto-skipping selected chapters (then I could just make the theme song a chapter and force it to be skipped). So I tried an alpha-stage tool called MkvCutter. It seemed fine - it can trim a custom frame selection from whatever part of the video you want, but somethimes a stutter/freeze would randomly be created near the cut-out theme song in the output video. Well, maybe the original encoding of these videos is a bit faulty, so I tried Handbrake to re-encode the whole video, and then cut it with MkvCutter. Unfortunately, stutters were still sometimes created. Handbrake also doesn't support omitting fragment from the middle - only from beginning or end. I'm gonna try re-encoding cold opening and main part separately and then appending them with mkvmerge GUI - I hope it will work. So, I'd like to ask people who don't like theme song interrupting each and every episode every single time - do you have any methods to skip it automatically? Or do you just manually fast-forward through it? Or could you recommend some software that could do this flawlessly?
