For locally uploaded content the process for displaying it on a page is the same as an image. See the image syntax documentation on MediaWiki.org for complete reference on this feature.
This example would display a video in page using a HTML5 <video> tag.
[[File:Example.mp4]]To specify the start and end timestamps in the media use the start and end parameters. The timestamp can be formatted as one of: ss, :ss, mm:ss, hh:mm:ss, or dd:hh:mm:ss.

Theora (OGV and OGG) is a Xiph.Org's (Vorbis audio format and the OGG container) free lossy video compression format, distributed without licensing fees. Videos can be encoded to Theora with the free MiniCoder batch encoder. The following code can be used to embed an OGV video. It uses the same code as images. The "thumbtime=" specifies what video frame to use for the thumbnail image.
