I just grabbed the embed code from youtube

<iframe width="425" height="349"
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rroLwht4jyM" frameborder="0"
allowfullscreen></iframe>


Is there a way to wrap that in a seperate player?  I thought the browser
or youtube was in charge of deciding the playback format?

Otherwise it's possible that I could setup a kalturaCE install but that
requires hosting and serving the videos too...


Cheers.
