Unless you're using one of the super-established providers (archive, youtube, etc.) or roll your own, you can't really get this level of certainty (as you found out at lulu.tv.)

I have yet to play with Miro personally, though. Note that last time I tried to install Miro on Fedora, it was broken; all the default videos are in non-free codecs so Miro itself ran but no video worked (and I seem to recall it failed badly.) Have not tried it of late, though.
