I think the reason X converts GIFs to MP4 is so they can use the html |

Fixes #421
So seems like X saves the GIFs are video files when uploaded (or added from it's interface) as a part of the post. What actually gets rendered is a MP4 file instead of GIF, which is slightly sad since it would have been nice to save a GIF file for migrations elsewhere. However I have gone ahead and made changes to save the MP4 file created by twitter for the GIF.
This should help in storing the video information instead of just a JPG. I have also added tests and modified the local archive template code to render it correctly.
