Previous versions won't accept it. There are four configuration files that will be loaded if found: * /etc/vcs.conf: System-wide configuration * ~/.vcs.conf: User configuration * ~/.vcs/vcs.conf: Newer alternative to ~/.vcs.conf) * ./vcs.conf: (i.e. vcs.conf in the current directory) Per-dir configuration text/html 2010-04-10T19:33:27+02:00 Toni Corvera http://p.outlyer.net/dox/vcs:usage?rev=1270920807&do=diff vcs should be run from the command line. Through the use of command-line options or configuration files its behaviour can be configured to fit your needs. Default behaviour When run with no arguments, vcs will show the following traits: * A capture is taken every 5 minutes. Videos shorter than 5 minutes will be rejected with default options * The captures will be placed in a grid, 2-columns wide and as many rows as required * Individual captures will have the dimensions of the input… text/html 2010-04-10T19:29:02+02:00 Toni Corvera http://p.outlyer.net/dox/vcs:cli_options?rev=1270920542&do=diff FIXME Still incomplete This is the full list of options accepted by vcs, sorted by their long name.

By default the whole video will be processed (except the last minute, see ). Use -f (--from) to set the starting point for captures. Use -t (--to) to set the ending point for captures.

Copy them to ~/.vcs.conf to make them default. Since v1.12 configurations can be saved as profiles (see Profiles) and loaded with --profile; or they can be loaded on demand by saving to some file and using --config file.cfg Shown below is the default output compared to each configuration. text/html 2010-04-10T19:18:11+02:00 Toni Corvera http://p.outlyer.net/dox/vcs:profiles?rev=1270919891&do=diff Profiles are new feature in 1.12. Profiles are configuration files which are given a name and saved on a fixed location for easy loading. See Configuration files for syntax and available settings. The provided packaged versions of vcs include three sample profiles (black, white, and mosaic) matching the examples in the Example configuration page.
