> -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
