CUSTOM SCRIPTS

       Custom  encoding  settings can be created with the scripting engine. Do
       the following steps:

       1. Start avidemux and open any video file.

       2. Configure you own encoding settings.

       3.  Save  the  settings  as  project  (File -> Save project as...) with
       suffix ".js".

       4. Quit avidemux.

       5. Open the project file in a simple editor and delete useless lines.
            *  You  need  the  first  line  "//AD"  and  the  line  "app = new
            Avidemux()"
            * and the encoding settings beginning with "app.video.codec(...)".

       6.  Save  this  script  file  with  suffix  ".js" in the user directory
       "~/.avidemux/custom".

       7.  This custom script is now available in avidemux under the menu item
       "Custom".
