To use the DVD example, FSA requirements would expect this both on the box and on the DVD; but a video embedded in a web page would only need the disclosure on the web page and not necessarily the video. But in the case of something like YouTube, I'd advise that it was on the video rather than the web page, as it's more difficult to control the web site content (you need to be sure the warning is there all the time.) Prominence is important - in the case of Facebook, you would probably need to look at where it was - FSA wouldn't accept a separate tab, but if it was in a clear title which was obvious then it might be possible.
