Re: How To Post A Youtube Video

It won't let me post youtube vids?

It comes up just as blank...

Everytime.

Because you're wrapping the [ youtube ] tags around the whole URL.

Repeat: The whole URL*.

* By "whole URL" I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWUnAhZXzoE

Now, as the instructions CLEARLY state - in both words AND pictures:

You use only the video number.

In your case, that is " MWUnAhZXzoE ".

Sorry to be patronising, that's just the kind of guy I am

Lol yep picked that up already as posted below

Not sure why I decided to put the whole URL lately as have never done that before.

Re: How To Post A Youtube Video

Good thread Borgsta, just wondering if anyone knows how to put a youtube clip on Powerpoint..?

PS. It's not a good video, but just putting this in for one of my computer assignments to help gain a better mark, x-factor. This is the code gas2Xi0rW6A if anyone would be able to translate I guess the video to be able to go on powerpoint.

I looked at a few videos on youtube to figure it out.
A few of the methods were complicated, but the one I found was pretty easy.
Should've saved it in favourites, not sure which video it was, can't be bothered looking through them atm.

Youtube Formats: http://digitalramblings-0612.blogspot.com/2008/12/youtube-formats-2-fmt-hack.html

see from link
- normal quality (just post the video id in YOUTUBE tags)
- semi-high quality (append &fmt=6 to the video id)
- high quality (append &fmt=18 to the video id)

Re: How To Post A Youtube Video

Is there any way to allow widescreen videos to show up in their native aspect rather than getting them postboxed into the usual square?

Re: How To Post A Youtube Video

I'm guessing no.

I initially added the HD suffix (&fmt=22) to my previous post before I realised it probably doesn't work on here.

See not working

Re: How To Post A Youtube Video

When I look for that video ID on YouTube I get:

The URL contained a malformed video ID.

It works, but you need a valid video ID to make it work.

But I have tried it with several clips from youtube?

I think you're doing something wrong each time.

Re: How To Post A Youtube Video

There's a vBulletin script that recognises youtube URLs and auto-embeds the video... that would be nifty.
