I have done a search, infact I have done a few, I have checked the website help section and still cant find how to do it. On other forums I use the [Youtube][/Youtube] tags but they dont work on here. Can anyone kickme in the right direction or even easier, could someone just tell me how to embed videos from youtube?

Cheers

Here goes.
YouTube will host your video but they have restrictions and they are-
1/ your video must be no longer than 10 minutes (I tried 14min-no go)
2/ The file size of your video must be no more than 100mb

Ok to give you an idea, the 14min DVD I made from my latest video was 532mb, much larger than youtube will accept.
I ran the video recorder and edited while I recorded a DVD that came in under 10minutes total play time.
The next step is to download a compression programme which is commonly known as ripping software.The one I downloaded was isofter DVD platinum which is very well laid out, input on the left from DVD, output on the right to a file you set up and a small video screen at the bottom showing your video as it progresses.
The input seems to load automatically from the DVD and you only have to configure the output which conveniently has a youtube setting.Then you press start and it all happens in front of your eyes the finished file is reduced to 100mb or under and you can play the file in windows media player to check it.
Now you need to register with youtube and then you will be able to upload the compressed video.They say this takes a short time but I found on my system it took much longer, in fact I went to bed and left it running.
Once it's finished you can bring up the video on youtube and play it.
The last step is to post it on the forum and to do this follow these steps.
While you have the youtube window open with your video click on more info and bring up the url line, highlight the line and copy it by clicking on edit(tool bar) click on copy.Next bring up the forum and when you have your post ready click on edit(tool bar) again and then click paste. The you tube link will now be in place when you submit. However if it doesn't work please don't blame me - I only gave you the process.

Hi, sorry, think you got the wrong end of the stick there, I wanted to embed the videos into the forum, I am up to spec with youtube e.t.c. its a case of I wanted to have it so the video can be watched from in the forum instead of using an external link. I use it this way with other forums, it brings up a video box inside the post instead of navigating away to youtube itself. Cheers for the reply anyway

hi, read the last couple of lines


Thats for posting a link, im good with that, basic stuff, im talking about embedding the link, this means having a video box within the post and not just a link, usually you would use tags to do this, the forum automatically puts the links into [URL ] tags but it doesnt except [YOUTUBE] tags which normally work. It may be disabled on this forum, I dont know though.
 
Yeah thats what I done but was hoping to embed, its just it looks better and is easier for others to view, well I say easier, its like steering wheel controls are easier to use then moving to the actual radio so its not that important really...
