For Flash application, Java, youtube, and myspace we use denvideo.

NOTE: No whitespace at the beginning of the tag (remove the space between the "{" and the "denvideo").

NOTE: The maximum width for an article that is on the front page is 450 pixels. If you set it any higher the page formatting will be screwed up.

{ denvideo URL} = add video with the default plugin params
{ denvideo URL WIDTH} = auto set size based on Width
{ denvideo URL WIDTH HEIGHT} = set custom Width and Height
{ denvideo URL WIDTH HEIGHT AUTOSTART} = customize Width, Height and set if the video starts automatically (true/false)

We also use the Joomla plugin EasyTube., but unfortunately Firefox 3.0 does not like it...

 

Usage

To embed a youtube or google video player, all you need to do is insert one simple tag into your page which takes the form [ youtube:URL] or [ googlevideo:URL]
The URL is the url of the video in Youtube or Google Videos, just copy and paste from your browser address, e.g. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nTRfxikK9aQ

You can also set the width and height of the player as follows:
[ youtube:URL WIDTH HEIGHT] or [ googlevideo:URL WIDTH HEIGHT]
