I was sleeping and then i came up with some kool idea while i was dreaming. ODn't ask why i was thinking about php and vbulletin hehe. But my idea was do you no how the vbcode buttons are. I was thinking what if they had one for videos. Like you click the video button and you can insert media into your post. I dont no much more about it. But it can support certain media type and i guess the program like windows media player or quicktime can just open up right in the browers. Not as a separate window but in the broswer as being inside the post. I dont no if there is and PHP media players but that would be cool if they were intergrated into the board. I think that would be such a great feature for vbulletin. I just don't no if it could be done. Please tell me what can go on with this idea and where it could go besides the drain hehe.

first of all if you try to use Windows Media Player you are blocking out all Unix, Mac and other non-windows users. You best stay away from that. ;) BUT....I have actually been toying with the idea of a FLASH panel integrated into any posts that have Audio uploads and streaming the media file from FLASH. It would become superintensive with alot of uploads, but that's the only sur-fire cross browser method I can think of.
