Yes, users control with sensible defaults sounds right. How about something like this:
By default, the original file gets the prepend and append, and the flash file too, and those are the versions you make publicly available. Include an option to prepend-append to existing videos I uploaded earlier. The original file stays available too (at .../original/...), and make that available to the content creator, but not to the public, *unless* the content creator checks the "for appended videos, make unappended unchanched version available to public" checkbox. At any time, the content creator can switch prerolls/postrolls and re-do the append operations for 1 video or all videos. This way I can change my intro and attach it to all future videos, or to *all* videos. That'd be my personal preference.
