I'm using that on my blog. You can get the javascript at <URL:  
http://www.solitude.dk/img/video-link.js > and there's no documentation.  
Make a copy of that file, upload to your own server and link to it with  
<script type="text/javascript" src="[URL]"></script>. Basically it  
searches for links of the format:

<a href="[URL]" rel="enclosure" type="video/quicktime">

The first child of the link must be an image (to weed out false positives).

You can see it in effect on <URL:  
http://www.solitude.dk/archives/20051201-1610/ >

Problems with the current version:

  - Only works with Quicktime video
  - Image has to be the same size as the video
  - Quicktime player will be 320*240 regardless of your video size
  - Doesn't work in Internet Explorer, but degrades gracefully to a normal  
link

Eventually I will fix these.
