I believe that alias will work in tcsh if you replace $1 with \!^ or \!* but you need a function to do it in bash. I use this: function mov2avi () { mencoder -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -vf scale=0:0:0:0:0:0:qpal $1 -o $1.avi; } Cheers on the idea simonb, but that alias isn’t proper bash.

alias mov2avi=”mencoder -oac mp3lame -ovc lavc -vf scale=0:0:0:0:0:0:qpal $1 -o $1.avi ”

and call it as mov2avi filename.mov
