_get_file_url() is not very good. I think the root issue is how we handle video URLs. It would be nice for everything to have an urlize() method or really any consistent handling. However, we don't have that and I didn't want to add it at this point.

There actually is a difference betwen file://C:/foo/bar and file:///C:/foo/bar. Only the latter will work in gstreamer. The former is actually an invalid URL, since it's missing the hostname part.
