how about the embed+popup ;)watch some video on vlogdir.com and it uses an approach that basically simulates a popup (but not an actual new popup window) and plays video in an embedded player.
i like it, because it puts all of the users/viewers focus on the video, not on the surrounding site (te
i'm a little confused by pop-up blocking.. i use firefox (er.. 1.5.0.2 i think?) on OSX 10.4,) and i have 'block pop-ups' ticked.. But i can look at michael's pop-ups and my own without being asked to 'allow' it.. hwo much does this vary across different browsers?
Funnily enough this thread ha
Much agreed. In terms of user experience, depending on popups to display your work will often provide a discontinuous experience for many people. Because so many people have popup blockers they will have to allow popups, even from a site like Verdi's or that recommended by freevlog . Also, popups

Hello,To be honest, I really do NOT like pop-ups. (When I want something to pop-up into a new window, I make it pop-up myself.)I prefer to get a direct link to the video. (That way I can open it up in a new window, a new tab, or in-place.)
I'd suggest linking in this (direct) link to the video
