Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Currently, GIF animated backgrounds are supported. I'm not sure what other formats are - but mp4 would be great. I'm using a ~110MB gif and it uses ~10% CPU - the mp4 would be much smaller.

The reason this won't work in the current implementation is that the backgroun pane image is set using Media::Imaging::BitmapImage which from system.windows.media.imaging.bitmapsource only supports image formats of:

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) natively supports compression and decompression of bitmap (BMP), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), Joint Photographics Experts Group (JPEG), Portable Network Graphics (PNG), and Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) images.

Would webm be possible? The format would be better suited and MP4 converts over nicely.
