I would like to specify mencoder to automatically output files with the following filename structure:

encoded_${date '+%d_%m_%Y_%Hh%Mmin_%Ss}.avi

the uncertain thing to me here is including the output of date '+%d_%m_%Y_%
Hh%Mmin_%Ss' in the filename.

date '+%d_%m_%Y_%Hh%Mmin_%Ss' is a command line that gives the date and time.


Why that sick date format?

Use YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM_SS.avi and they will be sorted after time when you do ls.

When I dump my videos from the camera using dvgrab it does it for me.
