Wish List

[Old Dog]

I posted this in the Video "Action" forum but was informed that this might
be the better venue. Would like to hear if there are any opinions on this
or better yet work-arounds other than using Vimeo.

Hi everyone,
Just joined the family and have a few comments (wish lists) to pass on.
I was hoping to upload videos and then embed them on my web site.
I am frustrated with the way the embedded video is displayed.
First the control bar gets in the way. It will drop out but is erratic.
It will appear again and get in the way of the video, especially the
timer tab.
Second the black frame around the video is to fat. Stretching just
degrades the video and makes the progress bar more unbearable.
And finally the video replay button is displayed rather than rewinding
to the thumbnail (picture start) image.
I have Sample at: www.gbaproductions.com on the home page.
I see others have mentioned these issues so I am hoping that there
will be some improvements coming from the really creative SmugMug
staff. They do a whole lot of things right.

There have been people that have replaced SM's player and still had the video playing from SM. I can't remember how they did it, but I do recall reading a thread on dgrin on how to do it. This would solve your issue since it's SM's player that seems to be the issue.
