RE: Width/height in MediaStream Recorder

My general feeling is that the Recorder is a sink for media, just like <img> and <video>. Therefore, it should be able to configure it's recording dimensions just as independently as those other sinks do.

I think that the more general question is whether it is sufficient to have capabilities/settings only at the Stream level, or if users will want to set them on the Track level.  I suppose that we could say that for Recording we support only Stream-level capabilities, but I'm not sure what use cases that would block.

Regarding mime-types, isn't that something that is decided by the recorder (as long as they are just MediaStreamTracks, there are no mime-types involved)? So basically we could decide that the recorder uses one mime type that covers the entire MediaStream being recorded.

I guess that in principle frame rate could differ between tracks, but that is nothing that is exposed in the Recorder API as far as I can tell.

Could we not just remove the imageHeight/Width attributes (and the possibility to set them)? You can find out by attaching the recorded blob to a media element, and to set you could use constraints on the tracks of the MediaStream that you want to record. (I'm probably missing some important use case here.)
