Determine MP4 video from regular Embed code

I'm 99% sure the answer is No, but worth a shot as you never know...

The typical "copy & paste" embed code for uploaded Facebook videos goes like this:

<object width="400" height="300" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" />
  <param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/12345678910111213" />
  <embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/12345678910111213" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed>
</object>

From this, is there any way to determine what the MP4 url is?

Alternatively, YouTube and Vimeo have provided access to a "HTML5" friendly embed using an IFRAME. Is there a Facebook equivalent?

And yes, using the Graph API you can get embed_html but I deliberately want to avoid that route.

Thanks.

You can get the link direct to the video from src attribute of the FQL video table.

If you're looking for any video belonging to the user:

fql?q=SELECT src FROM video WHERE owner=me()

or if you have the video ID:

fql?q=SELECT src FROM video WHERE vid=2031763147233

and if you need the HQ version query for src_hq instead of src
