I've tried to search the subject but with not results so forgive me if I'm asking a common knowledge question. But is there a way to have embeded videos in forum posts? I know that some boards have this ability, but is this one that we have, or could have here at GFF?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

YouTube Video

That?

Code:

[youtube*]URLHERE[/youtube*]

Minus the stars, of course.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I know it's possible with videos from YouTube, but I'm not sure if the system is compatible with any other site. Anyway, to make it work, simply link to the video, and surround it with "YouTube" tags. Like so.

Code:

[youtube ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc9y5ayeeb4[/youtube]

And you get this:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Alright that's pretty sweet then and I'll have to make note of that.

A more specific issue I was trying to solve is that there's a video on gamevideos.com that I wanted to link into my thread on the folding@HOME project, however I tried using the embed code but with no success. Is there specific sources that we can use embed codes for or is there something more universal that can be used?

I'm pretty sure you're just going to need to link to the video, unless Bigblah decides to code a similar embedding program for videos of all types, which I don't see happening too soon. That sounds like a big project, to me.

How ya doing, buddy?
