   If a wordpress.com .xml file is imported to a new blog running wordpress.org software none of the existing youtube videos [and other clips, as well] with shortcuts,

   e.g. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8zFOBxEvds]

   work as is.

   Is there an existing plugin which will allow these video clips with shortcuts to work as is in a new blog using wordpress.org software and imported .xml files?

   If not ... is someone willing/able to create one?

   Thanks, in advance. :-)

   I use this plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/embedded-video-with-link

   but the syntax is different, you do [youtube V8zFOBxEvds nolink] (the nolink stops a link being displayed under the video). Depends how many posts you have that would need updating I suppose!

   I have hundreds of videos on my blog.

   Updating them with just the 'youtube ID' is wholly impractical.

   What I need is a plugin that allows youtube videos to be set in place with the youtube short-cut that exists currently in the wordpress.com version ... i.e.

   [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/IDcode]

   That's exactly what I need.

   Can someone create this or not?

   So ... I guess this means no one is able to create a plugin that does this.

   That's a shame.
