I understand the point - I'm justing trying to challenge it because I don't ascribe to the McLuhan "medium is the massage" worldview which seems at the root of the debate.
In my assessment, the same video played in different contexts does not necessitate new designations for each context. A song on my iPod is the same song on my home stereo, in my car stereo, from my computer. Different envirnonments produce different experiences and possible forms of interaction but I don't think that requires creating a new term for every possible platform. I'm not on the McLuhan bandwagon and I just respectively disagree and place greater value on content than on medium. That may make me wrong in the world of McLuhan sychophants but in the greater community I think it's a worthy discussion. - but that's a whole other can of worms...
