OK NOW I get it! This is a brilliant idea. Rather than have ppl embed videos, whereby not driving any traffic to your site but rather, allowing them to suck up your bandwidth...give them the option to hotlink thumbs instead.

So, instead of seeing the instructions for embedding the video, they get a "copy and paste" code for the thumb image with the URL. Brilliant. I'll have to try this on my test site.

What do you mean "I lost the auto select all java capability, even though the code is there."? I guess I'll find out when I go to do this.
