Perhaps...I am going to talk with the client this afternoon.

What I had hoped to do was build this out as much like a component
as possible in that we can use it as a standalone one-up player, but
also load it in to our more complex multi players.

So for comparison sake, see the single player at http://www.koaa.com/
video (where we just provide the video player and they have build
the page around it) to the player at http://www.cshomesmag.com/
(choose a listing from the datagrid).

A lot of the issues come down to limits in my own education in this
field ;)

Thanks,
Sean

BTW if there is anyone out there that is interested in working on
this project with me drop be a line...I could use some help!
