My point was that those using a standard player (Real, QT, WMP) will allow you to resize the screen without missing a beat. Sure, Yahoo! Music, Comedy Central and several other sites will throw-up an alert with instructions on escaping fullscreen, but the video keeps going underneath and unlike Google and YouTube, it doesn't force you to start over. On some of the longer clips this can be real issue, though their players do seem good about letting you skip ahead. And heck -- At least YouTube fixed the thing where their original page would keep playing, while the enlarged version in a new window would start from the beginning.Back then, if you didn't go to the extra step of stopping the original stream, you'd get double sound and probably doubled their bandwidth requirements.

I haven't done a full inventory of every available player, but most of the ones that I use on a regular basis will let me enlarge to fullscreen without restarting. It's especially annoying with YouTube's autoplay within their website. If I open one of their pages, the things starts playing and if I decide that I need to go fullscreen so that I can see better, it automatically restarts the clip from the beginning. I realize that folks may be willing to accept crappy quality and a blurry picture because Apple won't fix their WMP problem and some people have a problem with Real; It may even be a Flash problem because Google's thing does the same thing, but it's still annoying as all get out and it's a major issue, if you'd like to watch something longer than a few seconds. In those cases, either you have to watch the whole thing fullscreen and in and embedded player, or you're stuck with a size without starting over.
