embed movie problems

First of all I'm grateful that we can now embed movies but there are a few problems.

First, you can't use Safari because the select a video site portion is blank. Click on the selectors and nothing happens.

Second, You can't embed movies from your own site. It looks like only the big 5 sites are permitted. I have a bunch of samples and tutorials stored on my site that I'l love to be able to embed. I can create a link, but I can't embed. Even if I edit in html and put in all of the acceptable code, an embedded movie gets renamed to a flash movie and the whole thing seems to be broken. I have not tried re-encoding my samples as flash movies so I don't know if that's the fix.

One last gripe, this one on links. If you select target=blank it doesn't seem to work. You still get the link popping up in the current browser window. It seems like most other html code is working, but this one is broken for sure.

    target=blank is incorrect HTML code. Try with the correct usage of target = "_blank" and see if that works. (The quotes are preferred, but not essential, but the underscore is required.)
