Consider using less CPU-hungry codec for the test suite's --capture option

Switching the video codec from libvpx to mpeg4 made features/evince.feature:12 run 18% faster on my system. The resulting video file was 3 times bigger. In some situations (e.g. local debugging), one would prefer to save test suite runtime. In some others (e.g. making Jenkins artifacts available to download) one would prefer to save bandwidth and download time. Perhaps we should make this configurable?
