The video output outlives the input, thus there cannot be video output 
parameters per inputs.

Your hack makes some generally incorrect assumptions. It might work for your 
specific use case, but unfortunately, it will easily break in practice. For 
example, settings from the previous item will be passed onto the next item, 
unless explicitly overriden. Normally, the next item should inherit the 
defaults.
