auto-enable "smart-copy" and Q-factor=2 when saving new *.avi?

[pstein]

When I want to save a new concatenated *.avi then Avidemux prompts me to enable
"smart-copy".

How can I let Avidemux automatically enable "smart-copy" without prompting the user?

Is there any disadvantage in using "smart copy"?

In the following dialog I am asked for a Q-factor. The default is 4 but the best possible is 2 (as far as I know ).
Is this correct?

How can I tell Avidemux to always automatically set Q factor=2 and proceed?

AFAIK current releases don't have GUI automation for smart copy.
