VirtualDub nerds - I need your help

    How do I set the compression codec when loading VirtualDub IN CAPTURE MODE from the command line/batch file?

    I've worked out how to do everything else (load in capture mode, set capture device, set capture file etc). But just can't work out how to set the compression codec I want to use.

    I'd like to be able to set it up so I can run a batch file, and simply hit F5 to start capturing using a preset compression codec.

    Well I solved it... for anyone in the same boat:
    I ended up using AutoIt to create an exe that fires up VirtualDub with a few command line options, then sends the key strokes.
    So now I just turn on my netbook, run the exe, and can hit F5 to start capturing.
