Hardware acceleration for powertoys peek #51119

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Peek is amazing, blazingly fast to open and responsive but it cannot even view my video files(422 10bit files) i dont know if its the media engine or it lacks hardware or software acceleration to use the cpu or gpu. I would even pay for an enhancement to make peek open these files just like quickview does but quickview isnt as responsive as i have to hit spacebar multiple times to preview, also adding a way to use media info as a plugin or built into peek would be amazing as it shows so much metadata about so many files. Thank you guys for the wonderful work you guys are doing :)

Scenario when this would be used?

Previewing media files as a videographer as you can on macOS also the media info would be useful to anyone previewing anything if it reads the files metadata
