# screex264 : screencast encoding script
#
# 11th september 2008 - Romain Vimont (®om)
#
# v0.2 (26th june 2009)
#
# Converts input video (ignoring audio) to x264 video, muxed in mkv.
#
# Syntax:
#   screex264 input_file output_mkv bitrate [quality_preset]
#     [mencoder_options [...]]
#
# quality_preset must be one of :
#   -std : (default) standard quality (good quality, normal)
#   -hq  : high quality (very good quality, slow)
#   -vhq : very high quality (best quality, very slow)
#
# mencoder_options are appended to command line of mencoder call.
# For example :
#   -ss 10 -endpos 56 : trim the video from 10s to 66s.
#
# (of course, there are no options -std, -hq nor -vhq)
#

# Syntax error detected.
# Exits the program with return code 1.
