The banner would be a good idea, but it would depend or not if Adobe had the copyright on that sort of thing. It sounds stupid, but I've seen a lot worse being copyrighted before. I think fullscreen within a simple browser window would do the trick. It would behave in the same way that it does now if you point your browser at a media file directly rather than at a web page that contains the clip as a page element.
