From Yahoo News

Video Analysis
The LA Times video has a mail icon that when you click on it, you can email the video, "grab" the video (this provides the embed code) or share the video. All these options are found under the one tab. It also features a "help" icon that when a user clicks a Flash Player Tutorial Pops up. There is also the option to make the video larger. While the video off CNN had clear and distinguished tabs to embed, share, and enlarge the video. The Yahoo video was disappointing. There was no option to embed the video directly from Yahoo, I had to return to the original site where Yahoo obtained the video, search for the video, and then choose to "Share" the video, there was no option to embed. In my opinion, LA Times did the best job with its video player because it gave so many options.
