improve various built-in presets
improve Chroma-key presets, add separate RGB/YUV versions
add JSFX video sample peeker which can provide audio samples to Decorative Oscilliscope/Decorative Spectrum Analyzer presets
add experimental performance tweaks and information to video window menu
add experimental decoder prefetch support (improved multiprocessing, improved reverse video playback performance when enabled)
add option to show green frames for underruns, rather than previous frame
add option to disable rendering cache for all media/video FX (can be used for low latency interactions)
avoid re-rendering video frames when tweaking parameters during playback
