How to post youtube videos!
-----------------------------------
Here is a short tutorial for posting a Youtube video on the forums. If anybody knows of another way, don't hesitate to add it.

You know how on Youtube there's the Embed: box? Copy what is in there and post it in a flash object. Then, get rid of everything except the URL that has src= in front of it. (Get rid of the quotes as well) Then, change it to a size that can reasonably be accommodated on the forums. I usually put whatever the original video was, unless it's huge.

Here's an example.



For this:

http://www.youtube.com/v/ukZCHX5ffEI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b


The code is this:

&#91;flash width=560 height=340&#93;http://www.youtube.com/v/ukZCHX5ffEI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b&#91;/flash&#93;

Here is what was in the embed code:

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ukZCHX5ffEI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allow.scriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ukZCHX5ffEI&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allow.scriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

The "value" url in the first param tag and the "src" (source) url in the embed tag are identical, it doesn't matter which one you use. I just used the  height and width of the video.

I used a red border instead the default to test if you could actually do it, which amazingly, you can. But sadly, you cannot have it autoplay.

In  post I used the same thing, but I edited the height and left the default flash object width to just have the player because I only wanted the music and I couldn't find a sound file of it online or have it on my computer.

&#91;flash width=250 height=25&#93;http://www.youtube.com/v/uAIAET2e2y8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&#91;/flash&#93;


It took me about 15-30 minutes of trying to find a way for me to figure this out so I could post my videos. Hope that it helps!
