and just to be more clear why this new version of vPIP rocks like a crazy animal with superpowers: Enric included an Ogg player in vPIP...so if you provide an Ogg version, anyone can watch it without any installation. The embedded video will play like flash. The viewer wont know the difference. Why is this important? on the Showinabox list (http://groups.google.com/group/show-in-a-box), we've been talking about Ogg which is an open source codec....similar to Flash. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg) The big question is: what happens if Flash or Quicktime starts putting DRM in their codec? or starts putting in limitations we dont want? There's not much we could do. But Ogg, like wordpress, is infinitely malleable. Lots of challenges to overcome, but enric did a big thing by making the Ogg viewing experience seemless. The new vPIP also has a "multiple embed-code generator", or Share. This lets the viewer choose which video format they want to embed on their site. a person might want the 320x240 Flash version. someone else might want to embed the 640x480 HD quicktime. choices!!!!! forward and onward.
