Comment (by celloexpressions):

 We need to use the core video functions for this; if we want to switch
 those to using something other than MediaElement.js (even such as raw
 video tags, when the time comes), that would be a different discussion.

 I vaguely remember there actually being a higher-level function than
 `wp_video_shortcode()` that also handles additional source formats being
 uploaded, although we can probably recommend uploading `.mp4`/`H.264`
 given the current browser support for that.

 I also realized we could consider using the header image as the `poster`
 attribute if we use that as an automatic fallback and match the sizes.
