I came across a plugin for flash videos, and i have used many
http://www.mac-dev.net/blog/index.php
very easy to add videos.
in a post here is an example
[flashvideo filename=videos/test.flv image=videos/test.jpg logo=videos/click.png link=http://www.twistys.com linkfromdisplay=true linktarget =_blank/]
test.flv being the video
test.jpg being the thumb being displayed
click.png is the player logo so you can have "click here for more"
link= is the url you can make the flash player clickable
hope this is useful for others
