I can't figure out how to post Youtube videos. On Youtube they give code to post, but I can't get it to work.
For example here is a code from a video that I want to post, how do I do it?
<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fZCA69lk-Mc&rel=0&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fZCA69lk-Mc&rel=0&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

I don't have that option on 7.1.1 but I found a way to do it.
This is obviously something a lot of people want to know as this topic had a lot of hits quick.
For those that don't have the option listed by Gizmo, you have to start a topic or hit reply to one that was created and not use the quick post option.
Take the embed info off You Tube and change the mark up area to Using HTML instead of Using UBB.
So here's my next question to the experts is there a way to make the video's clearer? Someone told me to delete the transparent part at the end of the post, but I don't see a real difference.
Any ideas.....
You can see what I did here:

Video Posting was added in 7.3 (I think ~B3?); there is a mod for it over at UBBDev for prior versions.

Will vids already posted using the mod still work when we upgrade to 7.3 do you think?

well, so long as you don't edit them, the parsed versions will remain.
I posted compatibility code at ubbdev to make the CURRENT mod's tags work.

a regex to handle both URL form and ID form that i use is (allows the user to not care, if they paste the url OR just the ID):
(|.*v=)([a-zA-Z0-9]{8,12})(|&.*) markup:
<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/\\2"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/\\2"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"
width="425" height="350">
</embed>
</object> note: forces
www.youtube.com in the markup
feel free to embellish and/or ignore

no clue, but sometimes on sites there is a subdomain -- ie: it.youtube.com, us.youtube.com

YouTube has like 16 subdomains for different locales. I believe Rick fixed that issue, but I also like SD's option. Alas, though, I still find it easier to have users copy/paste full URLs rather than *try* and extract the video ID (as easy as it may seem to us
)

i'll modify the regex / markup to handle the 16 sub-domains then -- that way 1 size fits all..

well, the next obvious question is --- the youtube ID still unique?
if so, the domain/sub-domain wouldn't matter anyway..
no ?
example:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=6hoiRLzqhug http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hoiRLzqhug same vid -- so i see no harm in just eating the URL up and using markup to the most logical sub-domain for the board..
only real issue might come in where the board is all over the map and diff sub-domains might be diff for diff users
if you get my drift..

If the VID was different for each subdomain I wouldn't have even mentioned it!
