With MW 1.30 and up, is it yet possible to view video (mp4) files in standard 
mediawiki gallery [0] tags? 

There seems to be quite a few extensions that address a variety of embedded 
video needs, but only TimedMediaHandler [1] and EmbedVideo [2] seem to claim to 
do what I'm hoping is possible; which is ... to allow wiki text like:

<gallery widths=300px heights=300px>
File:Mypic001.jpg
File:Mypic002.jpg
File:MyVideo001.mp4    <--- note the mp4 video file here.
File:Mypic003.jpg
</gallery>

to produce a combination of image thumbnails and video playback thumbnails per 
the supplied file extensions?

EmbedVideo seems to be the easiest way to go, but I'd like to choose the one 
that a) works with the gallery tag as described, and b) is better supported by 
MWF and the media wiki community. 

Can anyone comment on the right/best way to do this?

Thanks!
/Rich
