Rationalize video output formats

As of the wip branch, the audio options are different for Media Foundation (FLAC/192 Kbps AAC) vs ffmpeg (256 Kbps AAC/128 Kbps AAC). Should rationalize.

Random thoughts:

  1. I had an instance of the Media Foundation 192 Kbps AAC output being a bit poor, actually subjectively worse than the 128 Kbps ffmpeg output (which still had some audible artefacts). I don't really want to have to think too hard about this... maybe use 192 Kbps output with ffmpeg as well?
  2. The existing UI is OK for probably max 8 combinations (so far: 4). If it gets too much, the UI will need to present the various options separately rather than showing the combinations as a list. And then issue 1 is less pressing, because the user just gets a free choice
  3. I'm pretty sure ffmpeg can output FLAC, so that should be an option on macOS/Linux...
