Ahh, now I see what you're doing. While your approach will work, I tend to prefer the "use a supported method for everyone" approach. The issue with doing this client side is that even if you remove the Silverlight container with Javascript, the browser is still initially going to try and load it.
This is one of my gripes with the SharePoint team; while I ...

SharePoint 2007/WSS3 does not come with the ability to stream videos. In fact, it is particularly horrible at it even with BLOB caching enabled. I would STRONGLY recommend hosting your videos elsewhere, like youtube, and then putting the EMBED code into your pages using the Content Editor Web Part.
However, if that is not an option and you must keep the ...

If you have your video hosted on some videosite (youtube, vimeo) you can just use the embed-code in a Content Editor Webpart.
Pro
smaller content DB
works on (almost) every browser
faster (i'm not sure, it is just a feeling I have, using videos in SharePoint)
Con
Video is not easy replaceable/editable
Video is (semi)public
Internet-connection needed.

You should be able to resolve this by setting a higher CSS z-index on your drop down nav elements. Note that for better cross-browser compatibility, you should also assign a lower z-index to the QuickTime player itself. In some scenarios, z-index must be assigned on both elements to ensure they are layered consistently as expected.

You can, if you edit the refinements web part Xslt. You can start the exploration here: http://www.sharepointanalysthq.com/2010/06/sharepoint-2010-search-refinement-panel-options/ or http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee819920.aspx.
You need to add something like

This link gives simple instructions in how to embed video in a SharePoint page:
http://msfarmer.blogspot.in/2009/05/embedding-video-on-your-sharepoint-site_13.html
So the major heavy lifting will be done by the <embed> tag:
<embed src="http://link to video here"
autoplay="true"
loop="false"
width="200"
height="200">

You can.
You'd want to create a document library with no default content type specified and then create and add your content types to the library by setting the Manage Content Types option to Yes in the Advanced Settings of the library.
Then you'd just need to figure out how you would group things together in your library so that the docx and mp4 file ...

The requirements are of course to update your master page to support HTML 5 (obviously you'll have to use any modern browser to get the benefits of it). The limitations most important are due to the META tag and DOCTYPE (http://klines.org/sharepoint/sharepoint-2010-html5-and-ie9-compatibility-issues/)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 ...

I worked on a project embedding JWplayer and Flowplayer into SP2010 and we had some great success with it (it became a product, http://www.ramp.com/solutions/enterprise/, I am not a sales weasal or getting comission ;).
We haven't had anything break SP yet, but I don't know how custom the CSS was for our player. I handled the SP side, and another developer ...

I would advise against storing such large video files in SharePoint.
Large files are not well supported at the moment. Definitely make sure versions are not enabled otherwise you'll be out of disk space very quickly. SharePoint 2013 with Shredded Storage should help this in the future.
One of the main issues with large files is the HTTP timeout. This is ...

In addition to embedding YouTube video using ContentEditorWebPart web part, I recommend to take a look on different approaches as described below.
Store embedded video properties in Custom List
The main idea is to store embedded video properties and not the embedded code itself. For storage Custom List named Video Links is used. Custom List is based on ...

Ofcourse you also need to change the file types which get crawled.
Go to the Search Service Application within Central Administration.
In the left navigation section Crawling, click File Types.
Add New File Type for wmv and avi.
Perform a full crawl.
Now the media files should appear within the search results.

The quick answer is no. As Sven said, you can use something like JWPlayer to do the video piece, but you'd need to come up with your own way to get a SharePoint list to be the record of authority for the playlist. In the past I've used SPServices to grab the data from the list and build the playlist that way, but there's no "canned" solution to handle it ...

I would go for the JWPlayer. It's quite easy to embed this component into a visual webpart.
Here's an example of how to create a playlist with this component. You can generate the XML file from a sharepoint list.

Why don't you add a Content editor web part on dispform.aspx and try adding the video play (code) there instead?
You can always add a Web Part to the list forms.

It's very easy to set the preview image of the Media Web Part via the PreviewImageSource (see walkthrough here) property. In a solution I developed I let the customer upload a custom prevew image together with the video which would serve as preview image.
I think what you are asking to have this process automated, so the preview image is automatically ...

I know there was a 2007 solution called the Podcasting Kit for SharePoint that was available on Codeplex, http://pks.codeplex.com. It looks to be abandoned. I thought I had heard they were going to be coming up with a 2010 solution on the product. That being said, here's a link to a youtube video that has a few snips of information on Microsoft's ...

F4V is going to leverage which ever player you have registered for that extension. I will assume the native flash player. Page Viewer is simply rendering the content in an iframe, and the files are delivered like any other rendered link. In the absence of any errors you can try the following:
I would load up Fiddler2, run it against your IIS site on a ...
