Aha, the "render type" seems to mean the technology used. So "Quicktime"
doesn't refer to the file format but the browser plugin. I suggest to
rename the options to "QuickTime browser plugin" and "Shockwave Flash
browser plugin". If "Embed Object" is to mean "HTML embed element", it
should also be renamed. *

Maybe I should read the docs, but I like the UI a bit more intuitive :)

* I tried to use "Embed Object" with my local .mov. With "Use player" I
got nothing (no rendered HTML code). Without the checboxed ticked I got
the SWFobject, but it wouldn't show any video.
