Can you embed YouTube videos in a thread?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to see if we could embed youtube videos in a thread. I've seen this on blogs, and I know how to embed a picture/image in a thread, but can't figure out how to get the youtube stuff to show up, showing a static image of the video with the little play button in the middle of it, then allowing it to play w/in the thread window.

Here's some example code I copied from the Gizmodo blog that I thought might do it, but no luck.

<center><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="<'>http://www.youtube.com/v/dj0E02NVGF8"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dj0E02NVGF8" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></center>

    as long as you've turned on Flash, and are posting the code correctly you shouldnt have any problems.

    could you:
     - explain in more details whats acctually wrong rather than saying "it dont work" .. what hasnt worked? expand...
     - post the original YouTube Code
     - and post what your trying to post in your ... post

    I have Flash turned on and I tried the following code:

    [FLASH WIDTH=425 HEIGHT=350]http://www.youtube.com/v/SPE8vL5hlFA[/FLASH]


    And I get the following output..
    < ="http://www.lodogg.com/forum/%3Cspan%20style=" color="" rgb(136="" 0="">http://www.youtube.com/v/SPE8vL5hlFA" quality=high width=50 height=50 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">

    But when I copy and paste the link above it works?

    -lo
    Just trying to have some fun and learn in the process.
