(Possibly relevant: many implementations normalise these to be nonnegative on 
the user side rather than using the standard values, making them [0, 3 + 
bitdepth * 6].  If you have 10-bit video then you should check what range the 
codecs actually use here.)

Most files only deal with one codec.  It's only when you've delegated almost 
everything to somewhere else that you run into the problem of all of these 
together :)

Put them in the v4l2_m2m_enc file, I think.  How you want do that probably 
depends on how V4L2 acts without the options: if it acts sensibly when you 
don't pass them, then make a defaults table with sentinel values and don't pass 
anything if you see them (so they are only passed to the codec if the user sets 
them manually).  If they are required, then you'll need to make a defaults 
table for each codec with the correct values in.
