But this part of the spec sucks. The object thingy is much too IE/MS 
centric (classid!!!!)). It's sad that (x)html did'nt get proper <video> 
and <audio> tags with some generic properties and a nice JS API that is 
plugin agnostic.

Anway, the Satay method just leaves out the classid and it still seems 
to work - magic :-)

As for flex/TS configuration (flex to save as a few extra fields in the 
DB), I'd use type guessing per extension with a manual override for 
unkown/unkommon movie formats, etc
