I've been looking at the Viewzi site for a while. I really like the idea of the full browser window video with an interface that comes up when you mouse over it. I started playing with it here (with some machinima stuff) http://dev.graymattergravy.com/fullwindow.html but haven't gotten too far. How I imagine it working is having a wordpress blog behind it and David Meade's XSPF playlist plugin to create the playlist that is running the player on the front page. So this becomes just another way (less blog like) of looking at your blog.
