> It's an HTML 5 video element with the source being an mp4 file in the
media directory.
> External youtube videos are working fine.
Youtube is a little different; when you embed a Youtube video, the content
(and all relevant headers) come from Youtube's servers.
A way to test how your server handles video — without WordPress — would be
to make a barebones HTML file, like `test.html`, that looks like:
{{{
<html>
<head><title>Video Test</title></head>
<body>
<!-- Copy the <video> code from your blog post here. -->
<video .... >
</body>
</html>
}}}
If you upload that file to the server and visit it in Safari (e.g.
http://yourdomain.com/test.html), WordPress should not be playing any role
whatsoever.
