YouTube upload test

Another user reports problems uploading this Youtube video using our "add media" --> "add a YouTube video" tools.  So I'm testing if it works for me, using Firefox 3.0.12 on a Mac.  If you are unable to upload YouTube videos to blogposts using the media uploader tools on B.com, please detail in the comments what happens when you try, what you see (messages, etc.), and info re: your browser and OS.

Okay, we've embedded the video in that original post, no problem.  Here's the issue:  The media uploader tells you the instruction that you must copy and paste only what is listed as the video's URL on the actual YouTube page--if you notice, every YouTube video page has a grey info box at the top right corner which has two lines of code, one is the straight URL/address, the other is an embed code in HTML.  What is getting people in trouble is that they are going to videos from other source pages and copying the URL in the address line of of the browser window, which often has extra code in it.  Please copy and paste only what is listed as the URL in the grey box.

just to keep someone from making a similar mistake

i just went back to youtube.com..i usually copy the url from the address bar not the url provided in the window above the embed window..they seem to be slightly different... in the past sometimes my way worked sometimes it didnt..hopefully this is the fix..thanx

But does it work after imbed?  I tried the above imbeded clip and it fails to play, sez: "An error occured, please try again later".

Thanks!
