[support] Best practice for embedded videos and lightbox2

[Gary Kalus]

I am a recent convert to Drupal and have got two sites up and running. The learning curve has been more like a cliff with a 
lot of trees growing out of it to distract my fall.

I have been asked to add an embedded video(s) to one of the sites using a block and then viewing it from a shadow box when 
clicked on. For now there is will be one video on the site they like the idea of YouTube but for now would rather have the 
video on their server for now. There are plans to develop a total of 5 to 6 video for ads and teaching and place them in 
different spots on the site. There will be 3 to 4 videos about product and 1 or 2 will be a workshop/teaching videos.

I thought using lightbox2 would be the answer but now I find myself stuck in the "trees." Recently I had to redevelop a part 
of one site because of not doing the research with  resources available to me, so I thought I would ask the questions before 
I get started with the video section of this site.

Given the requirement (at least stated so far) what would be the best practice for developing the video solution for this 
site. Keep in mind this is my first foray into the video/shadow box solutions.

thanks,
