lightbox embedded video gallery???

i have having just the worst time trying to make an embedded video gallery with lightbox. ny step by step help would be really helpful. i've tried so many things even embedding gallery2, but had zero luck incorporating lightbox in it. views have been causing me grief too... i'm currently using drupal6 but if i need to move to drupal5 i will. i've searched and searched, and have come up empty. thank you very much!
be well,

It would help if you took the time to explain everything you've done in a step by step manner.
This will make it clearer to those who want to help understand where you are in your process or where there may be a flaw in your method.

thank you. what i'd like is
thank you.
what i'd like is a page of thumbnails that are generated from an embedded video stream. when the thumbnail is click on the corresponding video is played through a "lightbox" type of module. here's an example click here . if you click on any of the thumbnails you'll get the idea. the only difference is that the examples on zivtech.com's page are all generated from an apifeed. i'd like to use a series of links i already have. does that make better sense? your help is super appreciated.
warm regards,

figured out how to make the thumbnails by adding div class="lightbox_thumbnail". so that part's figured out. any help with making a gallery would be wonderful.

I added code tags around view code in above comment
using code tags is benefical when posting code snippets of any sort.
