Fetches a video given its address or videoId. The response will either be a video with a set of playback URIs for ACTIVE videos, a PROCESSING state for pending videos, or a 404 error if the video does not exist. Receiving a video is a billable event, so callers of this method should be ready to use the returned URIs at the time of request.
