Hi sb. It would be preferable if the video and details were displayed inline. You are correct that the orkut developer guidelines do not preclude you from displaying pop-up windows (yet), but this does not generally add to the user experience. Is there anything preventing you from dynamically displaying the appropriate content is selected or, at the very least, displaying it within an IFrame inside the application? If you choose this latter route, you can have two IFrames, one for the search page and one for the video, and then keep only one displayed at a time -- when a user selects a video, hide the search frame. Likewise, when the user changes modes or clicks "Back to search results", hide the video frame. This is what I would do rather than opening a new window.
