openChange the default of the video encoder options in os-autoinst
0%
Description
In https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/77842 we change the default of the video encoder options everywhere.
If we change the default everywhere, it could make sense to change the default in the openQA/os-autoinst code.

I'm not sure how much sense that actually makes. The command line we'd like to configure everywhere in #77842 requires ffmpeg to be installed with support for the used codec and adds increased CPU load. So it might not be the best idea for everybody and break existing setups. Additionally, we'd likely still want to test our built-in video encoder code in fullstack tests where we than needed to explicitly configure the built-in video encoder.

I suggest to still use ffmpeg with efficient encoding if ffmpeg is found.

Yes, not for everyone so only change default but allow to select the theora approach still

yes, we can do that.
