[RESOLVED] How to embed and stream video?

Hello! I have sat up a local Wikimedia installation on lan. I want to use video content embedded in the Wikimedia pages. First I used the html and the iframe tag, and then I built in video content from YouTube. Then I made a new test storing local videos on the same Apache server where Wikimedia is running. I now use the html and the video tag, and it looks like things is running quite well. (But I have not tested it to much yet.) Is the use of the html and the video tag the right way to do this (video streaming) or should it be done in a different way using some extension? I guess there is some security related to opening up for and using the html tag?

I made this first post, even though the ip address is different. I have now tested the video plugin, and it worked without a issue. This mean I can use video using a "standard setup". I now posted a new question if you are safe enough if you enable the use of the html tag, if you have the full control over those few persons that will do the editing of the wiki. Reason: If you have the full power of html in the wiki, you can do a lot of things, quite easy and without a plugin. (Like html5 video and sound layer and links with target _blank.

One one other tread I was advised that using html is ok if you have control over all users that can edit. This mean that the html5 video player ant the mediawiki plugin can be used. (And the html5 audio control as well.) Problem can be considered as solved.
