I am trying urgently to embed video from the Copenhagen climate change conference on my site. The on-demand webcasts of the meeting (see http://www1.cop15.meta-fusion.com/kongresse/cop15/templ/ovw.php?id_kongr... can supposedly be embedded). I have followed the instructions to create the embed code, and copied it into a blog post on my site. The instructions from the Copenhagen website are simply:
"You can copy this code into your homepage to embed the videosequence you selected." I have video filters working and other video links working fine. What to do???? Should I simply put the code inside [video: ] as with a normal url??

No, it *sounds like* you would create a new Page with Input Format of "Full HTML" and simply copy and paste the embed code into the Body of that page.

HTH

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I ry that and view the resulting page, I see code only, no video.

What is the Input Format for the node? Can you send a link to the page?

Here is link:

Input format is Full HTML, as you suggested.

I would actually prefer to embed it within my ongoing liveblog (see www.redd-plus.com) but can keep it on a separate page if that's not possible. Thanks again for your help.

Hmmm, not sure. When I copy and paste that code into a standard Drupal 6 site Full HTML page, it works--I see a media player of some sort.

Perhaps your Full HTML Input Format has a filter turned on? Can you check the configuration settings for that Input Format? They are in admin/settings/filters meaning Admin -- Settings -- Input formats

Includes following filter options

Filters
Choose the filters that will be used in this filter format.

AdSense tag
Substitutes an AdSense special tag with an ad.

HTML corrector
Corrects faulty and chopped off HTML in postings.

HTML filter
Allows you to restrict whether users can post HTML and which tags to filter out. It will also remove harmful content such as JavaScript events, JavaScript
URLs and CSS styles from those tags that are not removed.

Line break converter
Converts line breaks into HTML (i.e.
and

tags).

URL filter
Turns web and e-mail addresses into clickable links.

Video Filter
Substitutes [video:URL] with embedded HTML.

Currently, HTML corrector, Line break converter and URL filter are checked

Those are all under the Full HTML filter format

Solved! I just needed to click on the HTML icon before pasting in the text. Thanks again!

Ah, you didn't mention you were using a WYSIWYG editor.

Glad you got it worked out.
