Version 2.00 is a major step up from the older versions.
The main difference in 2.00 is the way it works, before PassiveVideo would make the server do all the work. Now 99% of the work is pushed onto the clients machine.
Another major difference is the amount of control Passive Video gives the Admin and User.
Oh and i almost forgot, the embedding is now done with swfObject 2.0 so now you can globally control settings like wmode and it should work in all browsers now.
Admins can now Enable/Disable videos per forum and per usergroup.
Users can now Enable/Disable video embedding too.
2.00 is a COMPLETE REWRITE!

Screen Shots: note: these are of Passive Video 2.0 not Passive Video Lite 2.00, so some features may be lacking in the lite version.
I have the original passive vid installed, but I have a lot other mods installed as well. The old passive vid is no longer supporting metacafe or yahoo.
If I buy this, do I have to uninstall the current passive vid to install the new one? And are there any known issues if I uninstall and re-install. My entire site is video media.
Do NOT buy this now as it hasn't been updated in ages. The online video scene is changing so rapidly, constant updates on these things are required. AME seems the only choice right now.
I tried to hang in there with PassiveVid because I really liked the product of the past but I asked for and even offered to PAY for WeGame to be added.
Due to overwhelming pressure by the forum users, I have had to switch.
Many users have the problem. It seems all of them I know so far are using vbSEO.
The problem has allready been reported in august 2008, but still the developer didn't reply.
So, if you use vbSEO don't use the paid verion. It's not working for you, and there is no support.

Sorry guys.
I'm the same way..I have pressure to get it to work with our own video section and some other sites. Is there aother mod or plug in that is better?
I use vbseo with the free version..I paid for the other one, but this developer does not answer posts or pms.
