What's the general use case for such a menu item?

Same as right click copy url for <IMG> elements

What should the poster attribute be? Please give more information in your bug report. That one is not useful.

The poster attribute is just for setting a placeholder image for <video> until the media loads. It's not very useful to save on its own, and just adds clutter to the context menu.

Thanks Justin. I believe it will better fit into bug 499776. As long as the content hasn't been loaded "Save as Screenshot..." could take care of it.

We dont have menuitem for "Copy HTML code", so how do user get the poster url, if he want to blog about the video having poster.

"Save as Screenshot..." wont solve this need as user then need to upload this image some server, when we already have an image form original publisher on the web.
