But for now there are a couple ways to leverage online video to advertise:

Pre-Roll: Your video ad unit plays before the video content.  CNN is doing a lot of this now.

Overlay: Your ad unit is displayed at the bottom of the video as it plays.

Post Roll: Your ad unit is played at the end of the video content.

Sponsorship: Your display and text ads surround the video content.  Often used in conjunction with other video ad opportunities.

Interstitial: Your video ad unit is played in the middle of the video content.  Often used for long format online video.  Your ad plays like a broadcast tv spot.
