only use embed video if it is a short clip (under 30 sec.)
otherwise, use progresssive or stream
if you have 1000s of viewers simultaneously, dont use progressive.
Video encoding
keyframe intervals makes sure that it gets coded at a particular interval
keep it at about 24-30 frames
crop & resize
320 x 240 is a good size to show video (in a smallish window)
at a 4:3 ratio
crop
20 px on the top and bottom
15px on each side to keep ratio 4:3
or 50 off top
30 off bottom
40 on one side
20 on the other
total = 80 topand bottom, 60 off sides
you can put your own skins in for the controls
auto hide will hide them until you roll over them
just put autoHide to true
Custom script in the video.

myvideo reference the video object then you have to make sure you reference tohe correct .fav
