Remove Unneccessary Re-Encode If Video Is Already H264

This pull request resolves #233

Description of Changes

Context: In clip_and_reformat_video if the video is already mp4/h264 encoded, the ffmpeg stream will re-encode the clipped portion (if clipping is present) or in the worst case re-encode the whole video again as h264.

This PR modifies the behavior of clip_and_reformat_video such that…

• The video at video_filepath has a .mp4 extension, and
• The desired output format is mp4, and
• The video at video_filepath has a video stream with a codec of h264

… then ffmpeg stream will use ffmpeg's StreamCopy codec to copy the video/audio streams to the output file instead of decoding and encoding the input and output streams respectively. According to ffmpeg: "it is very fast and there is no quality loss."

This change should result in a significant decrease in Event Gather pipeline runtime for data sources that already provide mp4/h264 encoded videos.
