title: Play local (hard-drive) video file with HTML5 video tag?
body: <p>I want to achieve the following.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;video src="file:///Users/username/folder/video.webm"&gt;
  &lt;/video&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The intent is that the user will be able to select a file from his/her hard drive.</p>
  
  <p>And the reason for not uploading is of course transmission costs and storage quota. There will be no reason to save the file.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible?</p>
