   I've seen Matt's post on embedding Youtube videos you the following syntaxe:
   [youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=_dIya1aJJKA]
   It doesn't work for me. I have rich editor turned of.
   Can anyone explain to me how I can get Youtube videos in my posts?
   Thanks

   Instead of using:
   [youtube=http://youtube.com/w/?v=_dIya1aJJKA]

   You need to use this:
   <!--yt_video-->ID NO. Of Video<!--/yt_video-->

   An example would be:
   <!--yt_video-->tdUBFSbfPpA<!--/yt_video-->

   Hope this helps

   Or use Viper's Video Quicktags plugin.

   Hmm
   <!--yt_video-->tdUBFSbfPpA<!--/yt_video-->

   doesn't work, and viper's video quicktags link is broken.

   It just displays
   tdUBFSbfPpA

   and the [] way doesn't work either

   Whew.

   After all that - I figured it out.

   You can use the regular embed code from youtube if you just turn off the rich text editor! Argh..

   PS To turn off the editor, go to My Account, and at the very bottom there's a checkbox under Personal Options... (not an entirely logical place imho)
