I’ve created a video player that you can use for free that is easily customizable. The cool thing is you don’t need to open Flash to change the video you want it to display. Just write is as a variable in your embed code like this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
        var so = new SWFObject("/examples/videoplayer/video_4x3.swf", "mymovie", "500", "405", "8", "#000000");
            so.addParam("menu", "false");
			so.addParam("scale", "noscale");
			so.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");
			so.addVariable("myVideo", "vid1.flv");
            so.write("flash");
    </script>

Note so.addVariable(“myVideo”, “vid1.flv”); All you need to do is change vid1.flv to the video of your choice.

Enjoy!

I just got this thing in the mail today. I’ve been using one at work lately for some quick & dirty video and audio recording. This thing is perfect for convenience. It’s not the greatest in terms of quality, but I love it because the thing is so dang easy to use. It fits in your pocket, has 1-button recording, and has built-in USB. This is a lot better for me at home to take some videos of my 1 year old rather than trying to keep up with our Sony (battery charged? is this a new tape?). It runs off 2 AAs and stores the videos using what must be some type of Flash memory.
