A24. That depends on the goals of your site and the resources you have available for your project. One of the beautiful things about Flash Video is that you the publisher have complete creative control over the look and feel and also the functionality of your video playback experience. By creating your own “video player” (i.e., a SWF file with the look and feel and functionality for playing back external FLV files) in Flash, you can create branded, differentiated video experiences. So, we’d highly recommend you create your own custom player. However, if you / your company does not have a lot of Flash skills and you don’t have any cash to contract a Flash expert to do this for you, than you’re probably best off just using a pre-built video playback component.
