Default Embedding Youtube movies?

Any chance of getting code implimented to allow embedding of video in posts?

You wouldn't see the movie until you clicked play, so if you don't click play it won't disturb your neighbours.

If it works the way I have seen, the movie doesn't start automatically. Just shows you the player with a play button on the screen. Nothing happens until you click play.

Can't you just set Autoplay=1 to get it to start up right away? That might be a problem if someone decides to do it with an inappropriate video...

I've seen it work on other sites and it works great. I agree it would be a great addition to this site.

With the play button...would that make for long loading times for reading the posts for people with slower internet? Or would it just not dowload the video until you clicked play?...if that makes sense

It doesn't start to download or buffer the movie until you hit play, so all you download is the flash player which is quite small (as small as some of the sig images I'm sure)

If you don't click the play button it won't affect your loading time.

Cool, works. If this gets abused though it won't last long.

basically it's a youtube BBCode tag (like an img tag), and the value you put in as the youtube video's ID (rather than an URL for an img tag)
