Hi,

Ok i've finally done it. -vc and -vfm options accepts a list of codec
names/driver names now. so you can set up your preferred codec list/priority
without editing codecs.conf.

-vfm works as before, but you can list more than one driver name.
example: -vfm ffmpeg,dshow,vfw
means: try first the ffmpeg codecs, if none acceptable, then try dshow, then
vfw, if still none ok, fallback to the others.

-vc is more tricky!

-vc foobar    - same as before: really force codec 'foobar', no fallback.
-vc foobar,   - try 'foobar' first, then fallback to others (-vfm is still in the game!)
-vc foo,bar,  - try foo, then bar, then others
-vc ,foobar   - try others (non-crashing codecs), fallback to foobar 
                (maybe(?) useful to put it to configfile for testing crashing codecs)
-vc -foo,-bar,  - try others except foo and bar

the rule:
  codecname      - try this codec
  -codecname     - disable this codec, ie never try it
  (empty string) - try others (untested, working, buggy codecs from
                   codecs.conf, in this order, but -vfm is honored here)

i'll do the same change for the audio codecs very soon (tomorrow?)
