This is really nice work, great job.

You mention how the parameters are all customizable but I want to ask almost the opposite: is there a recommend set of defaults for xxx situation that the user can apply, so they don't have to be experts to figure out usage?

e.g. a recommended option for "sharing over the internet" vs "burning to a dvd" vs "writing to tape"

(I'm aware that these have their own redundancies/error control, but obviously I do not consider them sufficient.)

Currently there is just one set of defaults, but I could very well add multiple different defaults dedicated to certain use cases such as the ones you have. I imagine it'd be something like this

bef -c --default share -i input -o output, bef -c --default dvd -i input -o output, bef -c --default tape -i input -o output, etc.

It seems like a good idea and wouldn't exactly be hard to implement.
