Comment:

 The problem is that most currently used browsers do not support HTML 5 yet
 (IE, older FF and WebKit, etc.) so if you add <video> or <audio> tags most
 visitors to the site won't see them.

 Currently the visual editor uses XHTML 1 doctype and tags. There is an
 update in the works for it to support some HTML 5 tags that should be
 available soon. If you want to experiment with <video> now, I'd suggest
 adding a small plugin:
 {{{
 <?php

 add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'my_video_tags');
 function my_video_tags($settings) {
   if ( !empty($settings['extended_valid_elements']) )
     $settings['extended_valid_elements'] .= ',';
   else
     $settings['extended_valid_elements'] = '';

   $settings['extended_valid_elements'] .= 'video[*],audio[*]'; // add
 other HTML 5 tags as needed

   return $settings;
 }
 }}}
