VideoWidget freezing game with ogvs and does not support MP4

Hello incredible developers of Don't Starve Together, I'm glad you're here.

Today, we have an incredible opportunity to make DST better for everyone who uses an extremely small subset of mods.

When playing .ogv files with the VideoWidget (as that appears to be the only format accepted), it freezes the game for a long time whenever the video tries to load. This makes the widget very difficult to use. 

Additionally, it doesn't seem to support .mp4 files at all, despite being a very common video format. Though that's very understandable.

It would be great if the playback issue was fixed, and beautiful if mp4 support was added.

Thanks!

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play OGV with VideoWidget

2. DST grinds to a halt

the pikachu barbell video is necessary for my gameplay and it would be wonderful if this could be investigated so i can play dst without a lagspike every 5 seconds

additionally, there's support for pausing a video, but there doesn't seem to be any support for setting or getting the video play time which would be an amazing feature to have.
