Regarding size, we could probably have much smaller videos using SVG
animations, rather than rendering them into WebM. A few issues, most of
which are probably solvable:

1) Yelp doesn't recognize SVG animations as something you can have video
controls on to play, pause, restart, etc.

2) Yelp doesn't recognize SVG animations as something you can put TTML
subtitles on.

3) You can't have an audio track.
