 If you don't know the width and height of an uploaded video, you don't
 know the proper aspect ratio to frame it in a generic player environment.

 As it stands now, uploaded videos have no metadata other than
 `_wp_attached_file()`, the file extension, and `$post->post_mime_type`.
 Let's investigate ways to get more data for videos in the media library
 upon upload, specifically dimensions and hopefully length, etc.
