20. HOW to post YouTube videos

TWO TIPS

Lots of time over at YouTube the URL in the URL box has lots of extra stuff in the URL and messes things up if you use that one.

1) It is best to click on the SHARE button located right under the video and copy that shortened URL from there.

2) When you are on a page which has 'only one' video - If you use/copy the URL from the URL box then only copy the first part up to the '&' symbol (if there is a '&' symbol in the URL. If you end up leaving the '&' symbol and the extra stuff to the right of the '&' symbol in the URL when you post the URL here on DU the extra text will be seen to the right lower edge of the video - which makes look like a bug but it's not)

The explanation to why the FIRST link in the OP http://www.youtube.com/user/CBSNewsOnline?feature=watch#p/u/4/V_pHY7YbLV4
did not work is because that is NOT the link to the individual video - that is the link to the 'user's page' that has the video.
You can go to that link and click on the SHARE button located directly under the video and THAT is the URL that can be used here at DU to embed the video.

The reason the SECOND link in the OP didn't work is because that link is a 'search result' link.
You would need to go 'to the video' and copy the link for that particular video.

I hope some of that helps to explain what was wrong and how to be able to do it easier in the future
