I agree this would be a very useful feature, and is critical for retaining many of the short-attention-span or multi-tasking viewers. Particularly when a video is low-res or in small-dimensions by default, or when it's embedded in a long page of other distracting/tantalizing information.
I regularly watch youtube videos in a Pop-up window. Youtube itself has occasionally offered a right-click "pop-out into a new window" option as part of the default options (not currently? it seems to appear and disappear over the years). Otherwise, I right-click the tab and "move to new window", and then I minimize the window size, and drag the window into the bottom right of my screen. Finally, I set the window to "Always on top". That way I can watch long documentaries/interviews whilst I work on other tasks. [see screenshot at http://i.imgur.com/F43bvGb.png]

I think you mean, how would they access the information page, and licensing info, if clicking the media itself made it bigger or pop-out? From the article: they could still click the thumbnail icon (to the right of any caption) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Magnify-clip1.png From the video itself: Check the bottom-right of one of the videos, when it's playing. Click the "menu" button, to get a link to commons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Videos

I 've usually heard this call pop-out (as in pop this video out of the current tab/window) and i think it would be a good thing to have especially if we have high res video that is being displayed smaller in the context of an article, a larger lightbox is fine in many cases but does not support the use case where a user would put the video in a separate window while they continued to read the article that the video came from. Supporting both would be good, but if we're talking about a lot of work I can see it being a roadmap feature.

Ho, sorry, I wasn't sure if I should call that pop up or pop out, but if you understood what I mean, that's the more important point.
