Embed Video
Embedding a video is super easy. Just input a YouTube or Vimeo url and optional dimensions like so:
echo $video->embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZW9NYX6JZA', '630', '350');

// Information return from a Vimeo link
$info['video_id']
$info['status']
$info['title']
$info['info']
$info['mobile_url']
$info['thumb_small']
$info['thumb_med']
$info['thumb_large']
$info['user']
$info['user_url']
$info['user_thumb_small']
$info['user_thumb_medium']
$info['user_thumb_large']
$info['user_thumb_huge']
