I've modified the Youtube Plugin ever so slightly. The one that comes with the forum requires you to embed only the video ID. Anything after that causes the plugin to fail. This stops the embeding of higher def videos which append &fmt=18/&fmt=16 onto the end of the URL. Having to extract only the VideoID from longer URL's has caused some of my users confusion. This way I can simply say put everything after the v= in the URL in-between the youtube tags

There is probably a better way to handle the Regex than I have done but I'm not that clued up on them but I've tested this and it works

Great idea, however, that regex needs to be tightened. I get cold shivers when I see expressions with (.*) in them.

Clarify something would you?

I thought that embedding video was a very bad thing and a major security issue, has that changed or is it just an acceptance of what some people want?

I am still of the mind that I prefer to create image links to videos, wherever they are hosted, or in some cases saving the videos to my own server but still using image links to them, most people don't even realize it, and I have had several people ask how I get around the popup blockers.
