[FFmpeg-user] shell script for ffmpeg

my question was if there is a shell script to start ffmpeg. for instance i
use the following command to capture video from command line:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -q:v 0 out.mpg

I was hoping some one will have a script to start that command without
using the command line.

Thanks,
