When using the bookmarklet to embed a video, saving the post and then publishing it later seems to result in the lost of the embed code (the area where the video should be just shows up blank.) I have to manually reenter the embed code again in order for it to show up properly.
I haven't tried publishing yet without saving, so I don't know if the issue occurs this way as well.
ok where do you put the embed code?
right in the post, because worpdress will not save your code as is if you put it in the post area
or have it like this `<embed src="http://video.com/wp6/wp-content/plugins/flv-embed/flvplayer.swf" width="480" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="file=<?php $key="embed"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?>" />
`
and have the flv location in the embed custom field

I prefer not to use []...[/] type of tags because it leaves me open to the risk that if the plugin is no longer supported or breaks in a future upgrade, the syntax is left unconverted on my posts and forces me to manually remove them (which is unpleasant if they are in many posts.)
I don't think the issue has to do with the post area, but rather the use of the bookmarklet which seems to be unable to hold onto the embed code when you move from there to the main edit page, and then either save or publish your work from that screen.
