Issue Summary
I have a content type called 'video' which I use for uploading and converting videos to flv. I use CCK fields to attach my video files.
I want to be able to embed a flashvideo in other node types (page, for example). However, the only way to do this is to enable flashvideo for page nodes. The problem with this is that I do not want to allow the uploading of videos through page nodes - I want that restricted to my specific 'video' node type. If I enable flashvideo for 'page' nodes, in order to allow me to use the token, then I get an error every time I try to create/edit a page because I have not defined the CCK fields that flashvideo is looking for.
Warning: The required file fields are not yet defined for this content type.
Please visit the FlashVideo settings for this content type and follow the instructions before proceeding.
Perhaps the [video] token support should be moved to an input filter - this would allow it to be used on any node type, without needing to enable flashvideo for that node type.
Comments
#1
of perhaps some more detailed selections as radios below the 'Enable the FlashVideo for all nodes of this type' checkbox to allow you to enable just the [video] tag parsing, or everything.
#2
Perhaps a better approach would be integration with video_filter
#3
created an issue on the video_filter module to make it's module author aware of the idea - http://drupal.org/node/375034
#4
I also want to attach video to other content type

I also faced the same Problem. and resolve this issue by doing following steps
I added CCK field for Video thumbnail in same node type
then go to "Edit FlashVideo Settings" of this node type
then select the "Video Thumbnail" for "Save the finished thumbnail image to this CCK file field:"
