Don't try to do very slow operations in previews

Description

MKV and some other formats take a very long time, especially on slow media like CD. Finder (which is quite buggy) tries to preview every movie, and on a CD this can prevent it from being ejected until it stops reading.

I'd personally consider this more of a Finder/QuickTime bug, that we get *asked* for previews of large/slow files. I mentioned this fact at the tech talk, and they agreed with me but said the engineers haven't seen it our way.

Is this something we can fix?

Well, I'm not sure how they can be expected to know it's a slow file. Not that I know if we can fix it either.
