Allow FFmpeg to be used as the video importer instead of the default MediaElement (WMP) currently being used.

Shouldn't be too hard to accomplish that.

The obvious workaround for that is just to create a recording of a video using ScreenToGif (I've done this a few times). However an import component would be a pretty cool addition just in terms of image/video quality.

Done!

I merged the changes made by @manbokGo and added my own.
You can continue using the old method (which was also reworked, now it uses way less memory) or use the new method (via FFmpeg).
