@Stephen Try the link now. Seems I had a different URL in my clipboard when I put that link up.

Thanks a lot to Steve and the sponsors of this contest (Blue River Interactive and Webapper)!
Also, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I just released a minor update to my plugin. The new download URL should be:

Pros: Supports multiple, popular video sites. Easily embed videos without knowing the HTML behind the embed. Cons: Strange issue with embedding on the Mura test site that placed the video centered - but that put it under the right-side navigation. Source did not indicate a reason why. Usability: Very easy to use. Lowest common denominator attributes such as width, height are likely good for many people. Usefulness: Great out of the gate. Still headroom for implementing additional attributes (see Youtube JS player API such as onstatechange(), etc.) would make for killer functionality and interoperability with site-wide JS scripts. Creativity / originality: Points for including four popular video sites as opposed to one single site. General functionality of embedding video easily is not original, but great idea to combine multiple sites. Overall: Good idea, good execution, good documentation. Look forward to seeing additional attribute support.
Not particularly original but very useful and easy to use. I didn't give the full 25 points for usability since documentation for using this within a component was not given. Overall this plugin is one that I would keep installed on all of my shared Mura servers.
