A little follow-up on the above. I installed jPlayer this evening and started tinkering with it. It may be just the thing I need.

One issue though -- it doesn't seem to be able to automatically resize depending on the resolution of the video. Assuming I am correct in that, does anyone know a way to determine video resolution in php?

I just spent 20 minutes on Google and the closest answer I found was a php extension called ffmpeg which hasn't been updated since 2008. Bing was worse -- I kept getting tons of porn related sites in my search because they had "videoresolution.php" in their URL. (Filtering them out didn't much improve the quality of Bing's response.)

I realize this follow-up is getting a bit technical for these forums, but since some of you have worked with jPlayer I thought you might have come up with a solution to this issue.

Free ice cream to anyone who can solve this for me.
