We seem to have a lot of embedded videos recently. I guess it makes it marginally easier to view, but I would most often prefer to open a link. That's mainly because I usually like to read the comments below the video (not available on the embed) and also on the link you can still listen to the video whilst reading other threads. With the embed the video turns off when you open another thread.

Which do you prefer?

That's true, I would always post the name of the singer and the title of the song above the link.

Hi G, I like the visual aspect of 'what you see is what you get' embedding but not being able to open other posts at the same time is an issue.

Just click on the video that is embedded, and it opens up in a new tab. Then you can continue reading here on CS and read the awesome youtube comments haa!

Yes, that's exactly how I feel about them, unless of course it's not a music vid. For instance I posted a comedy sketch (embedded) a couple of days ago which you would have to watch, but when it come to music videos I would always prefer to open a link for that reason.


cheers

they already answered above....but for that problem there is an easy way out....just double click on the picture itself and the vid will open in a separate tab...and you can do both...

Thanks, Gozoman! bouquet

Yes, that's what I do (or a single click on a header) when I care to view/listen to it.

Still... I am more fond of links. Just my preference. wine

So do I if embedding in forums(don't know the secret to it). Prefer links on music videos, but only if the title is posted as well.

Since you ask, I prefer links.
I don't have Flash so the embedded code produces a white empty box that I have to scroll through, but it's no big deal. I can't see the videos either way. grin
