I usually use this code in my posts to add a streaming .wmv file:
<embed type='application/x-mplayer2' pluginspage='http://microsoft.com/windows/mediaplayer/en/download/' id='mediaPlayer' name='mediaPlayer' displaysize='4' autosize='-1' bgcolor='darkblue' showcontrols="true" showtracker='-1' showdisplay='0' showstatusbar='-1' videoborder3d='-1' width="400" height="285" src="http://www.datathoughts.com/movies/me_dumb.wmv" autostart="0" designtimesp='5311' loop="0"></embed>
but now with the wordpress 2.0 upgrade the code doesn't stay, even when I use the HTML editor? It just disappers. Does anyone else have this problem? I can't add embed videos.
Can I turn off WYSIWYG? Can I downgrade back to 1.5?
You can turn off WYSIWYG easily enough - go to your profile, and scroll to the bottom. Take the tick out of the "Use the visual rich editor when writing" and click "Update Profile".
I believe someone wrote a "downgrader" but I don't recall the details. The official answer would be "you can only go back if you have a backup, and changes made since the upgrade will be lost"
Downgrading is only possible if you kept a database backup and any wp files that you had modified.
I think the issues with WP2 are overblown. I only know of 2 or 3 bugs that affect me.

That's you, Viper007, and you're very lucky. I'm getting all kinds of errors that I never had with WP 1.5, so downgrading is looking mighty tempting.
The only reason you'll get errors is if you didn't do something properly. 2.0 is rocking my joint ;)

well that was it. I haven't had that many problems with 2.0, just the WYSIWYG feature and certain code.
Well, that may be part of it. The first thing I did was deactivate the WYSIWYG editor as I know my HTML better than it does.

It really also depends on your host. If you have a crappy host like Netfirms, then you find yourself unable to create pretty permalinks...an issue they have finally admitted to but, as of yet, failed to do anything about.
