I need to create a page that is laid out similar to YouTube and other sites like that. I figure this would be done via the CCK and Views module. However, I'm unable to display the video and thumbnail of the video. There's no CCK field to allow this. I can only create links. I've investigated the Embedded Media Field module: http://drupal.org/project/emfield But this isn't what I need. It's on the right track, but I need to be able to utilize video that's already on my website. I've tried creating the embed script for the video from my site and using the Emfield module, but it appears to only work with the prescribed services, such as YouTube.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I can't imagine this is too unusual. I see it on many sites these days.

Title: Display Video without Embedding » YouTube-Style Video Site

I think I may have finally discovered a way to achieve this. The Blue Droplet Video module: http://drupal.org/project/bd_video
I'll be installing it and trying to figure out soon.
