Ive just installed a new video embedder mod, where you just post the URL and it adds it correctly for you.

Quote
Introduction
Automatically embeds video clips from links for 50+ sites including YouTube/DailyMotion/MetaCafe/GoogleVideo without the need for html or bbcode.

Just copy the url from your address bar into a post and let the mod will do the rest.

Its the ultimate user friendly way of posting clips and safe from a security standpoint.

Features
o Supports 50+ Video clip sites
- 123video.nl, Aniboom, AOL Uncut, AtomFilms, AtomFilms Uploads, Biku, BrightCove, CellFish, ClipFish.de, CollegeHumor, DailyMotion.com, DailyMotion.Alice.It, Dave.tv, dv.ouou, ESPN, Gametrailers, Gametube.org GameVideos, Glumbert, Godtube, GoFish, Google Video, Guba, IFilm, Imageshack.us, Jeux-france.com, Jubii.co.uk, Koreus, Libero.it, LiveLeak, LiveVideo, Megavideo, MetaCafe, MSN Live/Soapbox Video, Mofile, MThai, MySpaceTv, MyVideo.de, OnSmash, Photobucket, Revver, Sevenload, Sina.com.cn, Streetfire.net, Stupidvideos.com, Tudou, UUME.com, Veoh, videotube.de, Vidiac, VidMax, Vimeo, VSocial, WeGame, Yahoo, Yahoo HK, Youku, YouTube (including Playlists)
o Safe from security standpoint
- They can't just embed ANY object hosted ANYWHERE, it only works for trusted supported sites
- Properly validates/sanitizes/parses the video id before including it in the url
- Disables script access (allowScriptAccess="never")
o Use  bbcode to prevent links being converted to embedded clips
o Hard-coded limit to number to converted links per page (to prevent flash overload/browser crash)
- Only applies to links converted by this mod (not other video clip mods)
o Disabled for Printer Friendly pages & Signatures

Since the mod only converts active links, it is recommended to have the setting "Automatically link posted URLs" enabled.
(via Admin > Posts & Topics > Bulletin Board Code)
Other than that there are no admin settings with this mod. Uninstall the mod to disable it.

Other video mods (such as my YouTube BBCode mod) will take precedence for bbcoded links.

Note: Some users have reported that the players won't go fullscreen. This maybe caused by bugs in some versions of Adobe Flash Player when wmode="transparent" is in use. Check whether you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

Note: Are some YouTube clips not working? YouTube has recently started allowing clip authors to prevent users external embedding their clips.  So if a YouTube clip doesn't work, check at youtube for the embed code. Where it says "Embedding disabled by request", those clips will only work when viewed at YouTube.

Good man! what was it?

Just to reiterate to everyone, if you want to post a video, just post its URL and this plugin will deal with it.
