Just stating my opinion on using this method on our site for a while and why we switched to a different technique. Take it or leave it.
The biggest problem in my eyes was that there was no visible video permalink appearing in the browser address bar to copy-paste. I think people generally expect that when they want to link to something or bookmark it. Again... simple observations from using this technique on our site.

the idea of modal windows like the lightbox script isnt a bad one just because the FireAnt approach didnt work well enough. I remember it and it did crash my browser on occasion... it slid up and down and was prob trying to do too much with the general idea.
i do like the lightbox approach because when i am watching a video, i like to focus on the video. dimming out the rest of the screen really helps cut down on the noise of a site and it makes me absorb the video content better... makes sense to me. though, i also sometimes like to have a popup video opened so i can browse and watch. it usually depends on the type of content and my mood.

decided to scrap that method for a number of reasons. It ended up
being a rather confusing interface, it often caused problems in
different browsers, and it made it harder for people to link directly
to videos to bookmark them, etc.
Just my opinion...
