 * When using the Video Post Format and setting the video link it only shows the
   following: [video src="http://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/My-Movie.
   mp4" /]
 * Using the “normal” way via insert file -> video works.

 * For self-hosted videos, I think you may need to use the embed field instead and
   use html5 video.
 * Ex:
 *     ```
       <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
       <source src="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/video/basics/Chrome_ImF.webm" type='video/webm; codecs="vp8, vorbis"' />
       <source src="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/video/basics/Chrome_ImF.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
       <source src="http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/video/basics/Chrome_ImF.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"' />
       Your browser does not support the video tag.
       </video>
       ```
   
 * (width/height doesn’t matter, it will be transformed)
 * So in your case, try perhaps:
 *     ```
       <video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
       <source src="http://mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/My-Movie.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
       Your browser does not support the video tag.
       </video>
       ```
