I didn't want to read the code right now, so I just started the cdw 
(I've got version 0.7.1 here), and I think that I would let user select 
image type in a wizard window that shows up when selecting "Create 
image" from main menu. The main page of the wizard would have for items:

1. volume ID;
2. drop-down list for selecting image format (ISO/UDF, with ISO being 
the default)
3. image file location (with file extension depending on selection in #2)
4. "More options" button, leading to advanced options suitable for 
selection made in #2.

The contents of drop-down list in #2 would depend on availability of 
tools on user's system, so it would also be an information for user 
about what his system supports.

Best regards,
