I haven't installed the optional Microsoft update to IE6 yet (or the IE7 
beta), but from all I've heard, video plays just the same as before... 
it's interactivity which requires that initial click before receiving focus.

If you've got a pause/play/volume interface within your video (as with 
FLV skins) then someone in a new Microsoft system will see a "Please 
click" message during mouseover, and then they'll be able to shuttle the 
video. (I'm not sure what happens if you use house chrome for playback 
controls, a la QuickTime, Real, or WMP... suspect it's the same.)

Summary: Should display fine regardless, but it's interactivity with the 
video which is at the center of the dispute.

I've seen lots of people hacking together their preferred solutions over 
the past month, but the best set of general links and recommendations 
I've seen is still at the Adobe Active Content Center:
