I'm probably repeating your points Bruce (:), but:

Actually, this feature won't need much ugly coding at all, because
the video input size won't change, and thus it's a problem of the
video output plugins to figure out how to rescale the output.

Remember, the video output 'plugins' always receive the framesize
of the video itself, not the actual output size.
