Custom Parameters field? #312

It would be useful if you could have field where you can enter custom parameters for ffmpeg. An example would be if I wanted record with OSS, I can just use the field to enter: "-f oss -ar 44100 -i /dev/dsp".

It certainly sounds like a good idea, this might come out when Maarten gets it able to run from command line in fact that would probably be the main reason to use it.

SSR is not a ffmpeg wrapper - encoding is done with the libavcodec library, which is part of ffmpeg, but which doesn't necessarily have the same options as the command-line ffmpeg tool. Input-related options like -f oss do not exist because SSR handles input by itself. Some output-related options can be set when you choose 'other' for the video and audio codec, you can see the full list here.

As StripedMonkey says, for the other options you would have to wait until the command-line interface is ready (but I doubt there will be any reason to use them other than automation, since all of this should be accessible through the GUI as well).
