As continued from the discussion on IRC, some points which were brought 
up included the intrusiveness of the dialog.

According to Geoffrey, more options including audio/spu sync, video 
filters, audio filters, chapter selection are to be added, so more space 
will be necessary than the previous structure allowed.

Additional nested menus were proposed but complaints included that it 
was "too complicated".

I would propose a panel-like structure. See the attachments for very 
rough sketches on how this might be done. This way (especially on larger 
screens like tablets) playback isn't completely obstructed like it is 
now, and there is a connection with what the menu/options button is 
supposed to be doing.

On landscape it would occupy a vertical column and on portrait it will 
occupy a horizontal row as to not obstruct the video.

Overall, we gain more space for all options while having a connection to 
the menu/options button and not being overly obstructive.

Regards,
Edward
