Based on my understanding, I would expect that look to check all formats
and use a scoring function of some kind to determine the "best" match;
the user might even be given some control over that process, by changing
the weights of the scoring function.  Thus, they might choose "maximum
quality" or "minimize cost"; depending on the user choice and codec
selection available, the algorithm might pick a different media format
in each case.
