    Hi, Ivan Kalvachev!

Sometime (on Monday, March 10 at 12:06) I've received something...

    I thought that way too but it may be too coplex to parse so I've
proposed to put it in separated option.

    In addition to above... To be consistent we have to add new config
type CONF_TYPE_CHOOSE with "help" listing parameter and special meaning
of struct config for it. It will replace ovc_conf[], oac_conf[], and
of_conf[], and -ovcopts vcodec=... as well. :)

    With best wishes.
    Andriy.
