Embedding a Video

Hi, is it possible to embed a video here? I tried but failed, maybe just not doing it correctly.

Cheers,

Brian

Brian, there is an insert video option in the formatting controls when you post

It looks like this:

It inserts the following code

[video width=400 height=350]file URL[/video]

Thanks, Jez, I tried that without luck, I'll give it another go though.

Brian,

Could you post the url of the video here so I can see why it ain't working?

I'll be looking into it. Just adding the url won't work anyway, you'll need to use the "video embeded code" that's on the Youtube page (look for the <Embed> button).

However, even that's not working (yet).

To be continued.
