    William,
    As I watched this, I thought of all the times you have carefully explained things to me about using my computer. This is a very helpful demonstration–with a darling baby as a bonus feature.

    Outstanding tutorial. Thank you! But I just found, playing with it, that you don’t need Download Embedded at all!

    Here’s how – On your PWA vid page, right click and select “View Page Info” – then go to the “Media” tab and scroll down till you find the “embed” type… and that’s the vid address. Copy, use your html code as before.

    Thank s again.

    [I posted the same comment over on your other tutorial page - since that's the first one I found when I Google'd "embed Picasa video."

    Hope that's cool.]

    Thanks for the info Rob. I can’t use the download embedded extension any more since upgrading to ff3 so this works just as well!!!!

    Thanks for the tip. Is there a way to add a thumbnail instead of seeing a black sreen?

    Thanks,
    Ric

    Hi,
    Thanks, the method works well for me. One little question: the embedded video starts playing automatically immediately when the page is loaded. I don’t like this. Can I modify the code to prevent autoplay?

    Thanks.

    Hey Will, just wanted to let you know I did a google search to figure out how to embed a video from picasa in my blog, and your site was the first hit!

    Cool Bryan! It’s kind of funny that outside of work, my claim to fame is this post on embedding Picasa video and another on how to use a certain Hitachi breadmaker.
