PR summary
Because the default is Base64-encoded frames of PNGs, this should save a substantial amount of space in the resulting docs. We may want to increase the bitrate slightly, though most of the videos seem clear enough to me.
This currently depends on sphinx-gallery/sphinx-gallery#1243 and sphinx-contrib/video#36.
These results are probably on the upper end, depending on if we change the bitrate, but disk usage is reduced substantially:
That's 108M of savings, or 22% of the original disk usage.
