Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and giggles. I do agree that the visual effect I want, could be obtained using the Show In The Box video related plugins... if I could get them to work. Ever since I upgraded WordPress 2.1, video Archive, Related and Recent video plugins are pouched and not functional on my site. It's been several disappointing months, with countless suggested fixes, but in the end I can not get them to work.
An example... okay, try this one: www.partybabe.net . It has the basic idea with lots of video thumbnails.
