Allow to embed local videos using html5

[dawehner]

As shown in http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/1.x/examples/notebooks/Part%205%20-%20Rich%20Display%20System.ipynb you can embed videos into ipython not only using Youtube or Vimeo but also local files.

Is there a reason why there is no simple way of an Video display which allows you to pass in the filepath?

I don't see any reason not to do that.
It might just blow up size of notebooks.

Tagging as quickfix, as this is probably easy to do. Thanks for the suggestion.

Cool, I always thought this just seems so obvious ...
You are right that this blows up the size of notebooks, but it is notally usable as long you are on your local system. This is problematic for nbviewer notebooks, sadly

#5992 is an initial version, feel free to comment

It looks like #5992 got merged, so perhaps this issue should be marked as completed?
