Hi

I'm busy looking at embed movie type plugins for fckeditor to play our podcasts.  I know that for sakai 2.8 the sakai community is looking at CKeditor to replace FCKeditor.  I also know about the plugin for FCKeditor in sakai 2.7: http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-15523 and
http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-341

So I would like to know from you:

I'm writing plugins for both fckeditor and ckeditor and are looking at an SWF player to play the content we're hosting especially the m4v and m4a formats so that our students do not have to download quicktime to play the videos/audio. I have found two possible swf players thus far.  This first is called JW Player (http://www.longtailvideo.com/), and also, open video player (http://openvideoplayer.sourceforge.net/).

Both these players support m4v and m4a formats as well as other formats, but the JW player is licenced.  The JW player has more functionality than the open video player.

Do you know of any other swf players that we could/should investigate?
