Right now, it will produce broken files. Adding a check so that it will fail
with a clear error message in the most common cases would be relatively
easy. Covering all cases would be difficult because it is codec specific:
you can concatenate H.264 streams with different resolutions, but not
rawvideo streams, or any other codec where global headers are necessary for
decoding.

At some point I intend to add more subtle tests / controls.

Some (most?) talks can be downloaded with the captions hard-burnt in the
video, but not at the highest quality.

Mostly unrelated: maybe mention the subtitles hard-burning features?
