Is this a mod_rewrite deal or something else?

[devknob]

I just started a youtube clone, and all is well, but im trying to allow users to embed without seeing the full path to my flv file or the parameters being passed. I noticed youtube doesnt use the .flv, and thats what makes me think its a mod_rewrite, but i never seen mod_rewrite do something like that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Heres what im aiming for:

 

<object width="432" height="351"><param name="movie" value="http://www.mysite.com/v/ZFMBIGAWa4e5cb83845429"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.mysite.com/v/ZFMBIGAWa4e5cb83845429" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="432" height="351"></embed></object>

 

Here is what I have right now:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8"
width="450" height="367"

<param name=movie value="http://mysite.com/stream/flvplayer.swf">
<param name=quality value="high">
<param name=bgcolor value="#FFFFFF">
<param name=allowFullScreen value="false">
<param name=swLiveConnect value="true">
