Google a bit on it. It's quite interesting and, as it turns out, the code is a lot smaller.

I'm also guessing none of the &autoplay=1 or the startat: works with this code. Anyway you can change your code so we'll be able to use it?

Shouldn't you be ordering more bandwidth right now? Or maybe switch to Amazon S3 ;-) Anyhow, nice hacking...
