This is a really important message! Based on the feature requests, UI work and coding, I've come up with these possible formats which users can rip to:

DivX AVI with MP3 audio
XviD AVI with MP3 audio
DivX OGM with OGG audio
XviD OGM with OGG audio
(S)VCD MPEG-2

The options can now be safely represented as follows:

AUDIO:
audio codec: MP3/OGG

VIDEO:
video codec: DivX/XviD/(S)VCD

Note that there is, at the moment, no facility for what was previously called a one-pass rip, nor a three-pass rip, though I can reimplement those fairly easily if we want them, and if we can think of a good way of representing them in the settings (i.e. a way that is easy to understand and easy to display).

Both the AVI and OGM formats will involve an audio and a video pass, and the OGM format will involve a final merge pass (not sure at the moment how time consuming this is). The (S)VCD format will all be done in one pass (I think), or possibly two. I'll have to investigate.

This also means slightly different information coming to these methods:

int_newPass() - The passtype may now be "mp3audio", "oggaudio", "video" or "svcd"
int_updateProgress() - same as above
