Current FireANT for the PC and Mac supports FLV and SWF enclosures, I
believe. They build the SWF wrapper for each FLV file I believe.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Josh.

Yes, making it clear that the user retains all copyrights to the work,
with the exception of granting YouTube rights to distribute the videos
from its website. You might take a look at OurMedia's terms of service
for some examples (I've not looked at them, but I'm assuming they have
them and that their legalese would probably be a good example for what
you're trying to convey).
