I've found that there are TONS of good videos on [www.youtube.com youtube], and a lot of sites have them "embedded" in the page, so you just click it and it plays where it is.  This way we could include videos in guides, and you wouldn't have to worry about the bandwidth issues (youtube has like 200 TB/day or something).  Although we can still provide links to youtube, which is nice, the inline videos would be much cooler :P.  No idea how hard this would be, just a suggestion.  -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] 21:15, 24 August 2006 (CDT)

:This has been disscussed before, and echelon didn't like the idea of using a proprietary FLV video player like youtube or google video on strategy wiki, because it would break our total use of open source software(i can't think of a better phrase to describe this). I did find a open source FLV player, [http://flowplayer.sourceforge.net/ flowplayer], but we'd need our own hosting for our videos with it. It would be cool to eventually have, but I think we should focus on getting the structure of the guides up before we add video walkthroughs. --[[User:Blendmaster|blendmaster]] 21:29, 24 August 2006 (CDT)
