Feature Request: Front End feature addition. Alternative to video snaps.

This would involve creating or modifying the default themes for Video-Snap LIKE support but not exactly.

Similar to how many front ends will have a video snap but instead of it being a full on video, just load up the retroarch core + game + movie file to go with it and use that instead.

Was thinking about that as a 30 second video snap might be 3-14MB in size while a emulator movie might be measured up to about 30kb of games that are typically smaller than the video snaps themselves and the games will use about as much processing power and ram as the video. And if your system was too slow the play the rom, it would reflect in the snap of it.

So could just have RetroArch load up the game itself and play its emulator movie file instead. The size would be much smaller and the quality much higher as it would be the game itself with the settings you chose.

Figure would be nice to have RetroArch with an EmulationStation like front end option where you select the room on the list and have the emulator start playing a movie of it instead of needing a video snap.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the default theme and video-snap handling in the frontend, then investigate how RetroArch could load a core, game, and movie file instead. Done would mean a defined frontend option that selects and plays these alternatives to video snaps.
