v.3 an intermediary release: supports vlc, basic cortado, basic mplayer/totem
well tested browsers are firefox & IE 6 (more testing needed for more browsers)
the goal of mv_embed is to create a complete/wrapper fall back system for
the liboggplay API:
http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/OggPlayJavascriptAPI
& integrate the video element as close as possible with the html5 spec:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#video
it attempts to wrap these calls for the following players:
I try to include a link to their Javascript apis if I can find one:
(initially just cortado and vlc)
cortado applet: a custom build of the fluendos java based applet
(included with the mv_embed package in the future we should get a signed applet hosted
so that cross domain video playing does not require a copy of cortado+iframe on that server)

vlc plugin: video lan client plugin
http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html#id293992
mplayer plugin: the mplayer plugin
