Replaced LGBs video codec forcing change with mine for audio and video codecs, which is IMHO more convenient cause codecs are selected by name instead of number, one unclearity is left to me, that's why audio_format is used once before codecs selection for MPEG_PS files, that's why I left -afm in for that one.
