What do you call an "EDL" ? (doesn't seem obvious to me)

EDIT DECISION LIST I HAVE HEARD YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SKIP FRAMES AND MUTE VOLUME AND PROGRAM FOR EACH MOVIE

True support for EDLs would include playing encoded video and or audio according to the list where the list is the control. Generally your better class of editor includes EDL support and will write changes on the fly. Considering VLC is not an editor there is no EDL support.
