Change color of menu entries that will introduce conflicts #838

The issue. Currently, if the menu is open to select a container option for my codec and vice versa, all options are in the same color. Only after the invalid option is selected (for example: will the user be presented with a warning at the bottom saying "Encoder conflicts with container" (and disable the "add job" button).

The solution The text of any codec/container menu option that is incompatible should be a different color, such as red or grey to distinguish compatible vs incompatible options.

The benefit Before clicking the menu option, the user will be subtly warned that clicking it will cause a conflict unless other options are changed later.

Interesting idea, but at the moment there is no time and/or ambition to change the behavior of the Assistant or to set a specific order for the user to set the video encoder and the container, especially because it can also be confusing.
