Configuration file
You can put in the configuration file $HOME/.encode2mpegrc
the options which will be used every time encode2mpeg is run. The
syntax of the configuration files is identical to the command line
options: put in a single line the options that you would type during a
run. There is however a limitation: in the configuration file are not
permitted arguments containing spaces or quotes. Example .encode2mpegrc
content:
-mpegfixaspect -cdburndevice /dev/cdrecorder
If you have a configuration file but you do not want to use it during a
run, add the options -norc
to your command line. Options in the configuration file are processed
before the options on the command line, therefore the command line
options override the configuration file options.
There is no explicit support for the usage of an alternate
configuration file, but it is easy to emulate it:
encode2mpeg -norc $(<myrcfile) <options>
just put your rc file (myrcfile in the previous example) before the
other options and do not forget to use -norc otherwise the standard rc
file will be used too. If your shell do not support the syntax $(<myrcfile) use `cat myrcfile` instead.
