I've seen the video file name talked about much around the web. The most popular delivery method seems to be through a Flash player - all Java Script based. Many times, if the the FLV is referenced, the FLV is an attribute fed to the player and NOT part of the source URL.

So with search engines not executing Java Script do we think they can parse our the video file from an attribute when it is NOT in the source URL?

When using a flash player on your site, how can one of the major search engines even know video exists on the page when not factoring in media RSS feeds and just focusing on the page itself? media specific meta tags?
