I've noticed that the Youtube embedding is much messier than uploading a video directly, as the elements on the page are all shifted around. Is there a way to get around this, or is it a sideaffect of "hacking" Youtube upload by embedding the HTML? It certainly isn't BAD, but it could be a bit better...I would especially like to know if I can remove the large sized thumbnail from beside the video, as images normally just have the small thumbnail in the navigation pane above the displayed image.

There was a addition to the embedded movie module/hack that was never incorperated that removed the small theumb from beside the external movie. It used some CSS like
#photo img { visibility: hidden; }to remove the image. I suspect it needs to be added to the module/hack so it only removes that image when on a embedded external movie.
so some more code is needed.

So is it an easy edit to one of the template files then?

It should be. I don't use the module so you are on your own looking though the code of the module to see how it detects if it is a external movie or internal movie and put some css to change the visibility of the thumb. In your case it is beside the movie but in matrix for example it is lower.
