Hi japie,
Templates, in all honesty, is just what you wrote. But, here is my advice (and
ideas to some

and

) is that you usilitize configuration files - I call them OCF
scripts - - Option Configuration File.
You can see them on my thread here:
*
MEncoder under W98 / SE / ME - (work in progress) ..
Look on first page. This is specially for Windows 98/SE/ME users, but really,
ALL OS users can use this, and it what I would recommend for ALL users to
use from now on, to capture the "flavor" of (shall I say.. ) TMPG templatges
I'm incorporating this as a feature myself
So, if you wanted to use your param string setup and label it or describe
it as your "kvcd" as a template, import that param string, into an OCF file
(again, see my link above) and (or use .INI as your file - whatever works
for you

) and then name that file something like (some examples below) :
* kvcd.fair.qlty.ocf
Quote:
acodec=mp2:abitrate=112:vcodec=mpeg1video:
keyint=24:mbd=2:vqblur=0:
vrc_minrate=64:vrc_maxrate=3000:vrc_buf_size=328:
intra_matrix=$matrix:inter_matrix=$inter_matrix
|
* kdvd.better.qlty.ocf
Quote:
acodec=mp2:abitrate=112:vcodec=mpeg2video:
keyint=18:mbd=1:vqblur=1:
vrc_minrate=300:vrc_maxrate=4000:vrc_buf_size=1863 :
intra_matrix=$matrix:inter_matrix=$inter_matrix
|
And, in your main .BAT script file, you could call it up like this:
Quote:
h:\mencoder\mencoder.exe -include h:\mencoder\kvcd.fair.qlty.ocf H:\mencoder\myfilename.avi
|
If you know DOS .BAT file scripting programing, you can do all sort of other
neet and fancy stuff, or if you're a programer/devl'er, you could conjor up
an nice GUI app of your own and incorporate such features etc.
