Below is a picture of a posting feature from another forum that runs the same Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.7.4 forums that you guys run here at ATZ. As you can see, there is a special feature that allows members to post embedded videos from You Tube and Google Video (I circled the feature to highlight it).

You can embed videos from You Tube or Google directly into your posts as seen below.

When doing a Google video, you need to have that dash before the long number when you put it between the Google code. The stuff after the long number in the Google code is NOT needed.
For example:
video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8831714570868814239&q=Cro+cop&hl=en
Notice that dash? Most Google Videos seem to have them. It's needed to make it work.
Anyway, that's how it works.
As far as I can determine, this embedding does not use the forums bandwidth, and so that should not be an issue.
I love this feature because it allows members to post embedded videos that other members of the forum can easily view without having to open other websites and go to You Tube or Google Video websites to view a linked video.
