I'm not talking about the sponsor hosted stuff, but flvs hosted on my domain using sponsor content. I've been playing with JW Media player
http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player
and using a high bitrate for conversion (768-1024) I've good some nice looking results. I think the galleries have a nice modern look, certainly better looking than the linked vid caps I have been using. The skins are awesome, too.
Do any list owners have problems with this? One thing I can't decide is whether to link the video (surfer clicks on video and is taken to sponsor-most sponsor hosted flvs do this) or put a link and/or banner below the clip.
Any thoughts/caveats before I get too carried away?
JW has an wmv player also, but requires the user to install MS Silverlight....doesn't seem like a good option to me.
