videos now convert to webm instead of being mp4

Justification for thsi is that ifunny has swapped to hvec for its
encoding. This is a problem as hvec is not widely adopted and
proprietary, so the videos are now being converted to webm instead.

I greatly await the day we get av1 normalization so we can abandon these
shitty codecs.
