How much network traffic does it take to grab enough of the video to get dimensions, duration, and possibly the first frame (if there's no separate poster frame)? If it's similar to or less than the cost of loading an image, than doing it 3 or even 50 times for a single page load does not seem so bad. After all, you need to load that number of images anyway to show any form of thumbnail whatsoever Regards, Maciej
