I think this would go under [Generic directives/plugins syntax](http://talk.commonmark.org/t/generic-directives-plugins-syntax/444/5) about general directives.

Personally think we should explicitly say if it’s a video or not. Makes parsing a heck of a lot more easier to do e.g.

```
!video[title]( url ){ size=10 }
!audio[title]( url ){ size=10 duration=10 cycle=forever }
!youtube[title]( url ){ size=10 cycle=forever }

```

This is since I think `![]()` is by default considered to be an image.
