Issue Summary

Wonderful module here - I've tried all sorts of Drupal solutions for video, and this is the only one that "just works."

On my site, I've found it very convenient to set the "convert files from" and "finished video to" options to the same cck field, and comment out lines of code that hide these fields from the user. Since before this the uploaded flv was hidden from the user, they had no option to delete the video without removing the entire post or uploading a new file and having it written over.

While the solution for me was simple (comment out a line of code) because I'm using only a single content type, it would be nice if I didn't have to dig through the code to implement this (and do so again every time I upgrade this module).

Basically, what I'd like to see is a checkbox next to each of the two hidden fields with the option to not hide them. I'm not very good with PHP or I'd submit a patch myself, but I suspect the implementation of this button is very simple.
