This reverts commit d183f13456991d12ea57ad14ba38a1f7407d0037. Switching to the vp9 encoder seemed like a good idea at the time but unfortunately it also has the major drawback, that it leaks a serious amount of memory every time it is used. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/256#note_692743 for more details. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/256 (cherry picked from commit c61685e6170c328ccab43d51464bc4c74669d2e1)
