I'd like to have:
file name
track listing: a list of available vids and aids
video info: resolution, codec, bitrate, fps, vo used
audio info: sampling rate, codec, bitrate, ao used
meta info: any Author/Title/Genre fields
progress bar

I could do without all those codec/output initialization messages.
