A Little Flash Video Test

The following flash movie is just my little test.
The video clip was imported into Flash Mx as a embedded video.
Of course, the rewind buttons,progress bar and text in the
flash movie have to be manually added.

Advantage of this format (what i think):
1) you can add all the bells and whistles you like: copyright text, buttons, etc.
2) Download size can be lowered/adjusted nicely without lost of quality.
3) A flash movie is there,Your video file itself is not there. (cannot copy the video)
4) Easy for people to view directly on the webpage. (just need a free flash plugin.most of us already have)

Disadvantage
1) A little more work required to add the buttons.

I'm also not too sure of it myself. But it depends on whether you think it works for you.
