The FlashVideo module currently has its own [video] tag, which allows embedding of videos handled by the Flashvideo module. These are videos that Drupal has control over (they reside on the local filesystem and details of them are stored in the Drupal database). The problem with FlashVideo's [video] tag is that it is only available for use on node types that have flashvideo enabled. However, enabling flashvideo on a node type does a lot more than just enabling the [video] tag - it enables the entire flashvideo functionality. Flashvideo's [video] tag also duplicates a lot of the functionality of this module, allowing you to embed youtube, google, brightcove and vimeo videos - but again, only on nodes of a type where flashvideo has been enabled.

I think there should be a video_filter_flashvideo plugin which allows video_filter to embed videos handled by FlashVideo. vidoe_filter's [video] input filter is in my opinion a better approach, as it can be used on any node_type.

Perhaps you could talk to the Flashvideo maintainer about this?

The FlashVideo module has stalled, and the industry doesn't like using Flash for video anymore.
