I'd still keep this at the bottom due to its unique nature.

Since FFV1 decoders seem to break all other VFW codecs (until you fix the registry, which then breaks the FFV1 decoder), I wonder if it's time to drop this option in favor of Ut.

Source? Also this is ffmpeg, not vfw.

You can't use ffmpeg to encode TASes with avisynth. avisynth depends on VFW decoders. VFW decoder for ffmpeg dumps breaks other VFW codecs.

Can't remember this ever having value either (during my 14 years of encoding TASes).

Keep uncompressed AVI please.

Not at the moment, but I believe it's important to have an extremely simple encoding option for troubleshooting. (I'm now realising there's a separate AVI writer, but it's not available on Linux, so my point stands.)

I'm not really familiar enough with the specific process of encoding TASes but if FFV1 and Uncompressed are also dropped, that window is down to a total of 4 presets: MP4, Lossless MKV, Ut Video and Custom. |
I would very much prefer if this is not done. Your "likely completely unused" covers some presets I've used before, and I would guess these might be used by a few other users. |
Notable: It defaults to a sample rate of 48kHz. I know that deviates from the 44.1kHz that BizHawk uses but i don't think that is really a concern for this use case.
All presets decode without issue in VLC, MPV, Handbrake and when uploaded to YouTube.
Sidenote: Custom is the only preset that accepts changes but you can still edit the command of the other presets. That is kind of misleading because those changes are not applied when starting the encode.
