I usually dive in the source code of the web page to find the favicon, but it doesn't have to be a favicon.ico. Users should be able to use their own images if they want to, that's why I thought to browse and choose an image in the computer.
(You 'll have to check the extension, and maybe dimensions of the file ? I don't know if jpg, or gif are accepted ?)
Encoding should be fine with these two values. But if you have a drop down menu, you can always add other values later, if there is a need for it, instead of letting the user guessing what value he should put here (and making typos...)
You have a more precise control over the value that should be written here.
