I gotta laugh, the witch hunt has been turned into quite the handy education tool for those who didn't know how to embed a youtube video.

Reverse psychology at it's best?

Did I do it????

If not, I guess you'll be up to 1001, King

yaaaaaaay~!!! Thanks everyone for the clues. Just goes to show that you can teach an old Shrek new trix.

For anyone still having problems getting the right embed code here is a small program i wrote that extracts the number from the youtube or google video page url

I did it! Thanks so much to everyone who has helped!
Man, a lot of people are going to be happy seeing this thread.

Ok, now everyone can embed Youtube videos.

How about Google videos? I tried one or two and got a black box. Is there something different about their codes that I should know?

I'm going to try a few here and I'll come back with the results, if I get it right.

Ok, I figured it out, at lest for the video I was trying to embed.

Here's part of it

docid=666048701355447870&ei=aOedStupHYeYqAOevv2tCg&q

It says docid - use everything after the = sign and before the = sign. In this case it's 666048701355447870&e.

HAH! I'm a freakin' genius! Or at least you almost have to be one to figure it out on this board. I don't know why it's so difficult on this board, I've seen boards that are much easier.

I just want to point out that you will not see your video in the preview post just a black box.

Yeah, what's up with that? It just makes it more difficult. You look at the preview and see nothing yet it might or might not be there.

After all this, I think I'm going to attempt brain surgery. If I can figure this out then brain surgery should be easy.
