blip.tv embed test

This is a basic HTML page that includes two items:

  1. A screen capture of the share/embed window that appears when viewing a blip.tv video and you click the share icon. Specifically, this screen capture includes the selected embed tab and the visible portion of the embed HTML blip.tv provide.
  2. The result of embedding the exact code provided into this page. Check the source of this page and compare it to the visible part of the screen capture to see that nothing has been changed.

It goes in conjunction with a blog post I have written that includes a solution.

The point of this exercise is to demonstrate that embedding the code provided through the embedded share feature of a blip.tv video, results in a video that cannot be played full screen by clicking on the monitor icon at the bottom right of the video. blip.tv's support department's response was that I must be using a content management system that escapes their code. A follow up reply was sent to inform them a text editor is used to edit the HTML of the site I was trying to embed a video into. Their response was very insistant I was using a CMS. I am using a unix based editor (vim) to write this.

The result of pasting the code into this file

Play the video and hit the full screen view button. It shouldn't work. If using Firefox the screen should go black but sound can still be heard. In IE7 nothing should happen, the video will continue to play in its embedded space.
