That would work as well. It would eliminate the challenge of getting the inline video clip sized within a certain dimensions. Without thinking about it too much the advantage to that method would be that it could be self-contained to the template eliminating the need to modify any of the PHP files. The disadvantage would be that some pop-up blockers may block the second window.

I like the look of clips being played inline so that I am heading in that direction for now (plus I've got a few others ideas floating around in my head) so Plan A will be inline but if speed bumps are encountered the javascript method will be Plan B.
