How would I go about seeking or pausing an embedded video (not necessarily a swf) from javascript? I am looking for something like Google's SWFObject's API, but for Windows Media Player, Real Player, Quicktime.
A:
I would check out camen design, that is for backup (in case HTML 5 is not available), then broken links (set the src attribute of the video tag to something else, ironic enough that link to the video is broken), you can easily play/ pause, access volume control, etc using Javascript.
Like ItzWarty said, not many video formats are supported, but you can certainly work it out.

I'm the owner of the site Broken Links which is referenced by Tom; if you want to see the video demo working, take a look in a WebKit browser; the .ogg file I referenced has been removed, so the demo will only work in WebKit until I can create a new one.
