A UA can just download it. To figure out what format the inband metadata inside the file has, additional information is needed. Either new mime types could be defined (e.g. video/mp2t-dvb), or some sort of geolocation information is needed (W3C Geolocation API or by IP address geolocation (but which has limitations)). Hence my approach of hinting to the geographic location. Using more-specific MIME types seems like a better idea than trying to guess. Geolocation won't necessarily always be available, and it might not work correctly (say a user saves a video on a tablet, then goes on vacation).
