Looks nice.<br />Will it save both on image requests and on HTML or just HTML ? And what about the server load? I would guess that could become a issue?

As are most movie formats. I think you can get most results for text files (html, text, board, whatver).<br /><br />As to performance: DSO or statically compiled in doesnt make any difference. Buffering does. so if you want to use this make sure you buffer as much as you can.
