I just grabbed the embed code from youtube

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.

Just a thought, YouTube has code now for
embedding HTML5 (iframe) and
code for Flash (embed). I think it is a "one or the other" type
situation. Not 100% sure on that. If that is the case you could use
modernizr (http://www.modernizr.com/) to see if their browser is capable
of HTML5 video. If yes, use iframe HTML5 code. If no, use embed and
Flash. Good luck and thanks for putting up the blog.
Embedding their HTML5 player sounds like a brilliant idea, especially
now that Firefox 4 is available and Youtube is using WebM even more
extensively than before. I'd agree that a Flash fallback is still a good
idea, though.
