Embedded videos

[tanis2]

Does anyone have any good suggestions (or programs) on how to direct link an embedded video into a post? I know youtube has this feature, but say I want to embed a video from a random site, how would I extract a direct link for it? Let me know if you have any ideas!

1st you have to have a site that will allow html code, many sites don't allow you to post html code for security reasons.
Then you have to imbed an object usually a flash player of some type, the html code is going to start out like this
<object width="425" height="350">

what I usually do is find a site that has want I am trying to do then look at the code and copy it, at least when I have put up a video that's how I have always done it.
