    Program Configuration file - Kmediagrab

    Can anybody tell me where a programs configuration file is stored. I am trying to use Kmediagrab but it is using a deprecated mencoder command and hence this error.

    MEncoder 1.0rc1-4.1.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team
    CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz (Family: 15, Model: 2, Stepping: 9)
    CPUflags: Type: 15 MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1
    Compiled with runtime CPU detection.
    98 audio & 216 video codecs
    -dvd N is deprecated, use dvd://N instead.
    I can use mencoder from the command line with new option as such

    mencoder dvd://N 1 -ovc lavc vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=$RATE -vop scale -zoom -xy 640 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128 -o super2.avi
    So my question how can I open up kmediagrab config file and alter it so that it will use dvd://N instead of old command.

    I am using PClinuxOS .94 or 2007 whichever you like to call it.

    Configuration files for individuale program are often is .* folder like *.kmediagrab or maybe .kde/kmediagrab or something similar.

    Although I don't believe the problem is with your configuration, it may requiere source code modification

    So would source code modification be hard ? Any ideas on how to do it or would you have good links with some info ?

    You will need to know some basics of C++ programming. It shouldn't be hard. The program looks pretty simple.

    A quick google search revealed this
