I am not sure , But is there any way to use YouTube video player for playing .flv file , which are stored in my own server.
any idea ?
I don't think so, you can only use it to play content hosted on their site, but there are plenty of other flash players around. Flowplayer is a common one, and there are loads more if you Google.
No.
You would have to upload the files to Youtube to use their player (which you can embed)
How ever there are many Youtube-like players (which will play .flv files on your own server), for example:
flvplayer
FPlayer
BitGravity
JW FLV Player
Flowplayer
Not that I'm aware of, but there are other options available that are very very similar.
Check out the JW Player here
I don't think so.
If you don't mind targetting just cutting-edge browsers though, you could make use of the HTML5 <video> tags:
<video src="path/to/your/video">Your browser doesn't support this.</video>
I know the beta versions of FF3.5 support this, but it is a new feature that's not widely supported yet.
Otherwise, use something like FlowPlayer as suggested in other responses.
Why not just upload the video to YouTube and embed the player?

Is it possible to create some sort of widget/control which is similar to a youtube video player which I will be able to control in powerpoint. I have worked with the javascript youtube player and I really need to be able to do the same in powerpoint.
I'm not quite sure if I understand your question, but if you want a controllable YouTube player in PowerPoint, this might work:
Create a website with a player and the controls you like and embed the whole website into your presentation using the method described in this tutorial.
However, I don't know if the solution will be interactive or if it's just a freeze-frame since I haven't tried myself.
I have a rather complex application that mostly works in a UiWebView. I would like to autoplay a MOV file from a URL full screen. My problem is that when I link to the MOV file the play icon is crossed out or video loads but does not play. Any ideas?
Are you embedding the video in html? What does your html look like?
If you're using html5 note that auto play is not permitted.
I would recommend getting things working first using a video you know if of the correct format/codec type, then when that works switch your video.
You can download a set of supported reference videos from Apples web site.
Or use this to ensure your video is of the correct format:

Im building a site which opens Youtube videos onsite using Shadowbox.
I have found out that linking to a video this way ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDZFf0pm0SE
..doesn't work (Shadowbox opens, video doesnt play). But linking this way...
http://www.youtube.com/v/wDZFf0pm0SE
.. does.
Can someone explain to me what is going on here?
The /v/ link is a direct link to the video, which is used for embedding it. You use it like this:
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wDZFf0pm0SE&autoplay=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="800" height="600"></embed>
However, due to licensing restrictions some videos will fail to play in the /v/ format.
The &autoplay=1 part just tells it to start the video on page-load. (Remove it to not do that).
The normal link is used to watch the video from Youtube itself.
Hope this helps.
I'm building an app that has mp3 files stored on Amazon S3, and want to allow users to listen to the audio files from their browsers.
The original plan was to use the html5 audio tag, but since that won't work in older browsers, an alternative is needed.
I've never worked with streaming audio before, and don't know what is needed to get started. Do I need to use an outside player to do this? Can it be done in html? Javascript? What is the best way to approach this?
Thanks!
You can use HTML5 as the main solution and fall back to javascript or flash if it is not supported. Something like this might work well: http://jplayer.org/
is it possible to record a video straight to Youtube?
Say I have a site, can I have a recording functionality and use some kind of Youtube API that will have the end video posted on Youtube?
Found an upload API but not a streaming upload.
Thank you,

watch this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M74K680WRyc
and read this article: http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2006/12/8387.ars and read this: http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_quick_capture
So basically it is possible with some Flash
Another approach is to save locally, then upload.
Hhhmm, seems like you can't do it.

The web interface described by jao is now at https://www.youtube.com/my_webcam
But it is only a web interface, and you asked for an API that your website could use.
The solution for you is probably the YouTube Live streaming API. You would still probably have to use some Flash-based library to capture a stream from the webcam and send it to the API, though.
