The downside is that if you need to allow embeds of your content you'll have to use an iFrame instead of an Object solution. However, iframes are pretty much flawless nowadays and the big mainstream tubes are going into that direction. DailyMotion already has embeds with iframes only, to serve mobile content well. YouTube will do the same in the next version of their embed (their current iframe solution is deeemed "beta of the next embed).

this article is a good source (not for technical solutions, just market assessment): http://now.periscopic.com/2011/05/ou...-your-project/

ps: i am very ok to send you some code if you need something to start with. it's pretty straightforward.
