back to ripmake homepage
ripmake uses a lot of parameters internally to specify its default behavior. General options can be set with the various command line paramaters described in the manual. More elaborate options can be either set with a global configuration file or with the -x option.
Each parameter is a key value pair. The key is a description of its purpose and the value can be either a single value or an array of values. Examples:
anamorph = 0 # single value svcd_aud_rates = [192,224] # list of values
You can use the above syntax in a config file ~/.ripmakerc. All options in this file are read as a new default at the startup of ripmake. Place your own permanent favorites there. Parameters only required for a single rip are best passed with the -x option and overwrite values in the config file (do not place spaces between the key, the equal sign and the value):
ripmake .... -x anamorph=0 ...
You will get a list of all available parameters with their current default values by calling:
ripmake -x help
In the following, all the available parameters used in ripmake are explained in more detail. Most command line options also use parameters to store state and values. These are omitted in this list.

Note: VCD/SVCD parameters use the same keys, only the prefix is different (vcd_ vs. svcd_)
