I love Newwcast but I have one concern: How easy or hard is it to embed a video? I take it I can use one of the spots below for a video, but obviously I need to ask before I buy.
Embedding videos?

There's an offical plugin source: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins where you can find everything you're searching for.
i.e. for embedding youtube videos: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-youtube/The Dude

If you choose not to use a plugin, you can grab the embed code from sites like http://www.youtube.com/ which can be pasted into the HTML view when creating / editing a post.
Useful video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IzWa1o3K1Q
Example of embed code:
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8IzWa1o3K1Q&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8IzWa1o3K1Q&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

That's by far the best/quickest way to embed videos from youtube. I'm only afraid of an validation error (W3C).
The plugin page http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-youtube/ claims that the "original" code to embed videos isn't a xHTML valid code.

The 4 areas on the homepage are Pages not posts and can be selected through the theme options panel.
You should select the smaller size video if you intend to use the videos on the front page. The video clearly shows where the options for your embed code are, but if you need help let me know.
