[Phpwm] [OT] Youtube for video upload/backend for Website

[Pete Graham]

Hi Alastair,

We've been looking into Vzaar.com, it looks good however it appears from the
API that you have to use their player. One of the things we need for our
site is to use our own custom video player, do you know if this is possible?
