It looks like Javascript will be your friend for this one. I do not think there is a comparable feature built-in to WordPress.

So, for each link, you could add an onclick="window.open([...])" attribute using examples from the link above. You would have to use the HTML view (non visual editor) to make these edits.

I dont think this is the correct answer.
ok here i give you the direct link the site that is doing this
http://www.criclove.com/pakistan-vs-bangladesh-4th-odi-at-multan-full-highlights/
scroll down to bottom and see it
thanks a lot for the wuizk reply
Ah. I thought you were looking to simply load a video file into a pop-up. The site you reference is using the SWFObject javascript library with an extra function tied onto the end of it.
Library: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
Controller:
function play(theFile, go) {
var flvu;
flvu = "http://www.dipvid.com/play.php?flv=" + theFile;
var so1 = new SWFObject("flvplayer.swf", "flvplayer", "553", "440", "7", null, true);
so1.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");
so1.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so1.addParam("allowSciptAccess", "always");
so1.addVariable("themes", "themes.xml");
so1.addVariable("flv", flvu);
if (go) { so1.addVariable("autoplay","true"); }
so1.write("flashcontent2");
}
I personally have never had a need to do this, but I think those sites and examples should be enough to get you started.

I wish I could be of more help, but I have never had to embed a lot of video a site. I think the solution will not have as much to do with WordPress (you can easily put Javascript into a post just like you could if you were creating static HTML pages) as it would with the video embedding scripts.
Here is the forum that the SWFObjects experts hang out at:

Sorry I could not be of more assistance.

ok thanks though
one last question why did you provide this:
Controller:
function play(theFile, go) {
var flvu;
flvu = "http://www.dipvid.com/play.php?flv=" + theFile;
var so1 = new SWFObject("flvplayer.swf", "flvplayer", "553", "440", "7", null, true);
so1.addParam("allowFullScreen", "true");
so1.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so1.addParam("allowSciptAccess", "always");
so1.addVariable("themes", "themes.xml");
so1.addVariable("flv", flvu);
if (go) { so1.addVariable("autoplay","true"); }
so1.write("flashcontent2");
}
and how would i get use of this
thanks
The links to video use the play() javascript function. It is not part of the SWFObject package, and in this case is passing the initialization settings for SWFObject. It might be handy to have something to model your code after.
When you get it up and running, be sure to share it with us!
What the original poster had is text links…here’s an example of putting a small thumbnail that does the same thing (see the small thumbs in the text in the bottom 1/2 of the post)
Hey thind,
Did you ever figure this one out in laymen/dummy terms? I need the exact same thing myself but don’t really understand the responses. 🙂
