I'll be using Flash for the whole thing so that won't be a problem. But I
wanted to see what's been done with and without Flash.

That's also another thing I'm trying to investigate. Any other
possibilities? Different metaphors? How about search, any good/bad
implementations of video search in this context?

I'm trying to find something I saw months ago and I thought it was at the
Webby Awards website - it was a site that served user submitted videos.
There was an upload engine, archives, search, and a player UI if I'm not
mistaken (could have been just RealPlayer I can't remember). I can't recall
the name or URL for the life of me and I couldn't find it at the Webby
Awards website. If anybody knows what I'm talking about please send me the
URL!

Cheers,
