yeah.... but i tried to mimc what openshot and blender do - they add
comment (starting from *) where you list your source...

https://www.openshot.org/static/files/user-guide/import_export.html

see example here...

may be put all source files in same folder as EDL and export from this?

interesting question - should this title come from videotrack name or some
other place? (user-editable may be?)

right now this line is hardcoded...

i saw * Format  1080 p 24fps  (as comment, on new line) again at this page:

https://xmil.biz/EDL-X/EDL-X.shtml
you can find huge pdf file describing this cmx format at this site (half of
file about diskette / floppy format those systems used!)

may be those high-end editors just accept/create/interpret those comments
equally?

Try to edit your edl file until at least one other NLE accept it - then
tell us about what was wrong with Cin's file?
