 # Recommends: moreutils vainfo vpx-tools vorbis-tools opus-tools
 #
 # TODO:
-#  * Offer to skip rendering again if an output file exist already.
-#  * Support --width and --height, resolving the other part from input
-#    or forced aspect ratio.
-#  * Check and fail if all needed tools are not available.
-#  * Test if beneficial to apply real_time=-2.
-#  * Normalize each infile separately when xml fed as infile keeps sync.
-#    Maybe as workaround re-feed audio separately from xml, as done at
-#    <http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/214-ubuntu-stabilize-video-melt>.
-#  * Resolve flash player to use.
-#  * Make choice of encoders configurable.
-#  * Figure out how to apply application option when using opusenc.
-#  * Handle channels per-codec for low-bitrate joint stereo Opus speech.
-#  * Double-check audio bandwidth algorithms:
-#    http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/HighQualityAudio
-#  * Change VP8/VP9 bandwidth algorithm:
-#    Use https://developers.google.com/media/vp9/settings/vod/
-#  * Tune VP8 parameters:
-#    http://www.webmproject.org/docs/encoder-parameters/
-#  * Tune VP9 parameters:
-#    https://sites.google.com/a/webmproject.org/wiki/ffmpeg/vp9-encoding-guide
-#  * Support DASH:
-#    https://sites.google.com/a/webmproject.org/wiki/adaptive-streaming/instructions-to-playback-adaptive-webm-using-dash
-#  * Support watermark
-#  * Support live streaming - i.e. from (maybe faked) endless source
-#    + Lipsync may require single stream of equally chunked tracks:
-#      https://sites.google.com/a/webmproject.org/wiki/adaptive-streaming/instructions-to-do-webm-live-streaming-via-dash
-#  * Support realtime streaming - i.e. with less than 200ms latency
-#  * Compute (or hardcode) html5 codec types:
-#    + Use mp4v2-utils
-#    + http://stackoverflow.com/a/16365526
+#  * improve workflow
+#    + check initially and fail if all needed tools are not available
+#    + offer to skip rendering again if an output file exist already
+#    + maybe support extracting keyframes to aid in picking cover image
