Aye but then you’re at the whim of whatever vid site you’re using. I prefer to have complete control whenever possible.

I don’t use any plugins to embed flash video:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash
data="YOURVIDEO.swf?path=movie.swf"
width="400" height="300">
<param name="movie"
value="YOURVIDEO.swf" />
<img src="noflash.gif"
width="200" height="100" alt="" />
</object>

This still requires you to upload your video elsewhere, but no worries there- youtube, googlevideo, dailymotion…

I meant something that allows the owner of the blog to upload and present videos within the WP admin panel? You do raise a good point about licensing however. Ah, I should have clarified.

It likely requires a custom install of software with the server, which not too many people with restricted hosts would be able to support. Another issue is that since they utilize VidaVee there are probably some licensing issues if you look past the server issues. That's just my guess.
