How do you embed a video in a post? Like not just a link, but the actual video?

[TheMatrix]

Find a youtube video. Let's take this one as an example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ-jv8g1YVI

See the lat part of the link, after the "v="? You need that part, which is "LQ-jv8g1YVI" in this case. You would then put it into a post like so:
LQ-jv8g1YVI

And voila:
LQ-jv8g1YVI

thanks.

p.s., you spelled "voila" wrong!

And if you have a link like...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3ymO6l5JfQ&feature=related

with all that shit at the end, you take what's before the "&" symbol...
which would be...
G3ymO6l5JfQ

and put that in [youtube] tags as Thomas demonstrated up there.

Because its BB code, at it would only put in .
It isn't the most commonly used one either, and would just take up space.
