If they host the video on the same domain as the page containing
<video> then it will play. If not, then they'll have to somehow get
their server to send the header. This is relatively easy using apache
and .htaccess assuming the person has control over the server. Of
course, there is the potential of error and them opening up their
entire site to cross domain acess.
