You can embed YouTube, Google, Photobucket and other hosted video files directly into your posts.

Here's how:

YouTube
Look for the letters and numbers in the URL for your video after "v="

For example, for this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in10pwNhqQg

the string is in10pwNhqQg

To embed the video, put that string in between starting and ending brackets with the word "youtube" like this.

 Code:
[youtube]in10pwNhqQg[/youtube]


And the video will appear in your post...



-------------------------------------------------------

Google Video
Look for the string starting with and including the dash.

For this video:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2097545789331379109

it would be -2097545789331379109

To embed the video, put that string in between starting and ending brackets with the word "googlevideo" like this.

 Code:
[googlevideo]-2097545789331379109[/googlevideo]


And the video will appear in your post...

Photobucket Video
While on your video page, copy the code for HTML Tag - Websites & Blogs on the lower right.

It will look something like this:
 Quote:
<`embed width="448" height="361"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"
src="http://vid127.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=
http://vid127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/tmack92/thresherJuly1st2007012-1.flv
"><`/embed>

You'll want to use just the code that is in red.

To embed the video, put that string in between starting and ending brackets with the word "photobucket" like this.

 Code:
[photobucket]http://vid127.photobucket.com/albums/p146/tmack92/thresherJuly1st2007012-1.flv[/photobucket]


And the video will appear in your post:
