I should have checked the notify me box but when I do I get so many emails! Anyway I realize you were really talking about how video management is not a part of the WP core and that you need to use plugins to do it properly...but the vPIP plugin (I'm unaffiliated!)builds really nice little video galleries and is pretty easy to use once you get it set up. The problem probably is is that nobody has contributed a great (more stable than vPIP) plugin that masses of people have downloaded,yet so that it catches the WP developers eyes and is considered for introduction(absorption?) into the core. That and the fact that probably not that many people have requested it in the Wishlist because there are plugins...and most people still embed the bad old way,anyway! Sorry for my late late reply.

It seems to run much smoother then in previous versions at least for me. This change was a much needed improvement and I hope the keep taking steps in the right direction.

Thanks for the plugin tips! My problem isn't that it can be done, its just that it takes plugins and whatnot to work :) Hi mccormicky!

I use both Vpip and videopress-video-archive plugin to build a gallery of videos(supposed to be like youtube!).Not certain if it is 2.7 ready yet.But I have a gallery of videos and they aren't from youtube -they're just plain old wmv. “Why can’t videos be easily embedded, managed and even put in galleries, just like images?”

For your information, Wordpress is completely free, there is no paid version, you can get it at Wordpress.org. You actually pay Wordpress.com for hosting your blog, not for the actual hosting. I think it's crazy that they ask you to pay for stylsheet changing capability and so on, it's easier to just get your own domain. Hi g!
