Having a sort of preset is a good idea, esp to simplify the ffmpeg cli, but
maybe 10 levels is a bit too many, as users will either pick the default,
the fastest or the slowest /most of the times/. In either case, I'm afraid
the advanced config API is needed, as you'd want to let people tweak and
set up the full configuration, since ffmpeg is generally low level IMO.
