Exception after rename of Ident_Frontier_EliteNeutral

As a player with 1K+ hours I would like to speed up launching of ED as much as possible.
For steam, part of the job do
Code: 
"steam_dir/steam.exe" -applaunch 359320 /autorun /edo
but now all those intros left.
I've found a hint I should rename some webm files in Movies dir. When I do this Odyssey intros indeed dissapear but after the game ends I see system popup "EliteDangerous64.exe - Exception caused immediate error" (this is my translation to english - I don't know original EN version). Anyway is it expected behaviour or is there any way to get rid also this popup?

You probably have to find some type of files and replace them, not removing them (by renaming).
A trick we used in some other games is to replace such Mov files with '0 secs/blank' files which are of the correct format, but they only play one frame of blackness.
I can't help determining what type of .mov files you need here as I haven't looked into it.

i don't use steam which probably speeds up the "get in there" factor a little plus hitting esc x1 once insta kills the intro fa me once it starts(or start on gamepad)
having a good connection which can be judged by the spinning ship logo which i get past in 10 seconds avg( advantage of close proximimty to aws London probably to which a good vpn may improve things)
and in gfx options shader prep off
I would have thought itsa network thing the logoff also taking time to end packet sending to cloud and close off
which tends to be a bit of a buggy affair anyways again network related and how busy servers are
obviously the game should be on ssd as standard
other than that i would be interested to know too...…………………………………………….
not closing down ever which would probably end up crashing due to server hiccups or slow mem leak ;)
someone may have a script to skip the launcher 2 part authentication tokens sent back to the exe from the wee cloud

( from cliking launch i am in in and playing in just under 60 sec which aint to bad, not living in oz duz haz it's advantages :ROFLMAO: )

Unfortunatelly this is not a solution. I've took original file and limited it to one second. I used to do this VSDC Video Editor. There is no difference. Only thing I've noticed is if videos is faked it is rejected alreeady at the stage of play (even if there is some picture inside nothing is played).
I think this file must be validated somehow. Some kind of checksum or what? Or maybe there is some specific webm format used? Or I converted it in wrong way.

Thank you for this link. This application in the area of starting app doesn't do nothing more than first command I've put here. Of course it use other switches I omitted but I don't see any mention about removal of intros.
Fast relog currently is less usefull for some purposes, hovewer I have also already covered it with Voice Attack.

If you dont play the relogging game, you only need to start it once per session.
And usually my sessions are at least 2h, but most of the time much longer

Just for clarification: yes I can press ESC once per session, but I am so lazy that I prefer spend half a day searching for solution than press this ESC :)
