Ah, prescience. New InVideo ad service from AdBrite allows advertisers to play videos hosted on YouTube or elsewhere on their own site via a custom branded player. "Split-screen ads engage users without interrupting viewing experience." When someone else picks your video and embeds into some other site, the ads and the logo are carried over. So, embedding the ads into the player itself wasn't such a bad idea after all. Check out a lively discussion on Techcrunch.
