Another (more complex in terms of developing) option would be the ability to 
create GUI options for different player options.  For instance to create an 
apect otpion, you would go the the player configuration and add a an 'Aspect' 
option with the options 'Auto'=>'', '4:3'=>'-aspect 4:3', '16:9'=>'-aspect 
16:9' or even 'MySuperWideAspect'=>'100:1'.  This would then create an option 
called 'Aspect' in the Edit Section of Video Manager that would d let you 
select the different aspect options configured.

This would allow the user to create whatever options they needed, for whatever 
player they are using.  Opinions?

Cheers,
