Hi everyone: As your average, ordinary end user, I see SEVERAL problems with this "player". 1). SECURITY ISSUES 2). Just like popups & flashy ads, people WILL NOT put up with this player "auto-scrolling" their web browser PERIOD (Mainly for the reason above) & will do just about ANYTHING to GET RID or BLOCK it (Some IE-based clones already come with the ability to block Flash, which is what this "player" depends on) 3). I personally LOATHE websites that auto-start an audio or video clip AS WELL AS sites that some person (Be they an actual person or animated character) auto-starting themselves to play their messages. As such **I WILL GET OFF THAT SITE IMMEDIATELY** 4). If employed on the wrong websites, this kind of thing can lead to leaving things such as cookies and other trojans OR WORSE (Especially when it comes to IE). Hence my top concern above. Bottom line - If you ask me, this "player" has NO FUTURE WHATSOEVER as there's just no conceivably positive use for it IMO. Just my blunt opinion....

From: Bill Vick Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 10:17 To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com Subject: [videoblogging] Transparent Video Player I've come across the Transparent Video player on a few websites. It's where the player is invisible and a person looks like they are standing or appearing on your page. Some call it a Video Spokesperson. Josh Anderson has a player and demo here: http://transparentplayer.com/ Are their any wordpress plugins to create this effect? I guess you could use Izzy's white background tutorial (http://xrl.in/) and end up with something very dramatic - at least that's my game plan. Any sources, tutorials or how to's on creating this effect and player? Can it be used with Blip.tv hosted content? Is it worthwhile buying into the player or tutorials?
