...video clips in the middle of articles.
Video clips in the middle of articles is easy enough and there’s probably twenty eleven ways to do it. Do you want the video clip to show up in the RSS feed, too?

Yeah - I’ve already got that going on (videos in articles). The problem is RSS feeds - at least, I’m not sure how to do it.
Currently I’m using the FLVPlugins to serve up the videos within individual posts. Unfortunately, in the RSS feeds it just shows up as EE code (unless I use allow_eecode and then it just disappears - both aren’t what I’m looking for).

There must be a few dozen ways to do that. I just finished up work on SlideShowPro embedded into an EE entry page using SWFobject (validates, easy to drop in the code and links).
In 10 years we’ll be able to do the media components easy in HTML 5. It might be finished by then.

I wonder about the validity of putting so much content into the RSS feed. It seems to me that the RSS feed is actually a teaser hook designed to show readers what’s a sample of the content in an entry without giving them everything (title, summary, body, images, movies, et al).
FWIW Department: I have one site where the owner wanted images to show up in the RSS feed for each entry. It works fine in ATOM, but not in RSS 2.0.
