Are you saying that the windows player one does this too? It looked like it was playing it at the regular size to me... but if it was, at least it re-adjusts the video to fit the size. Swf and mov files don't re-adjust at all, they just geet cropped which is really annoying. Isn't there a way to fix this?

This script: http://arcade.networktechs.com/play-...wivestale.html

seems to manage it just fine and it calls the videos using a php file and not the direct link to the movie as well.

With as many video sites out there, it just doesn't seem like other sites are limited by what you are saying is the problem.

I also noticed that your plugin page for .mov doesn't work. If somebody doesn't have Quicktime installed and tries to view a .mov file in photopost it doesn't show them anything and it doesn't contact or give any message about the line in the code that reads "http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"

Can you guys maybe clean up the video embedding code a little and give me the fixes? It seems like a lot of stuff that should work doesn't work very well. Any ideas on how I can get .mov (or all videos as may be the case) to show at their regular and full size without cropping edges and how to get the quicktime plugin message or redirect to actually work?

I don't know what could be the problem, but it seems like I look at other scripts and they are able to do what Photopost can't, though Photopost claims that it can. I'm just confused as to how somebody is suppose to get videos to work in photopost if a specific width and height has to be hard coded into the Photopost code. I mean, it's not like every video on the internet are the same proportions.

Any ideas/help?
