* Screencasts can be embedded anywhere in a KB article, including more than one screencast per article
* Typically they will be used above numbered lists of instructions, e.g. [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Bookmarks+not+saved#Places_preferences Bookmarks not saved]
* Since screencasts can be very large in terms of screen space, they should not be embedded upon loading of the article. Instead, only a link/icon should be displayed.**<br />[[httpsFile://wiki.mozilla.org/images/b/bc/Watch-video.png Mockup of video link|500px]]** Default text of link should be "Watch a video of these instructions"*** Should but it should be possible to override when embedding a screencast.** Subtle frame around the bar to make it stand out** Recognizable Play or Movie graphic to the left of the text** Final design to follow shortly (Tara)* When clicking on the video link, the whole embedded video player (or Flash .swf object) should be displayed, along with links to switch between the Flash or Ogg version of the video, if both exist.**<br />[[httpsFile://wiki.mozilla.org/images/e/e5/Video-viewScreencast_box.png Mockup of embedded video object|500px]]** [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/video/ Embedded Video object on already existing mozilla.com page] -- use as inspiration or simply copy?this** Box should correspond to the size of the video object (with a lower limit to ensure UI doesn't look broken)** Link at the bottom to switch source from Ogg to swf/flv and vice verca (default should be to load the Ogg file if it exists)
