4. Videos
it is now possible to embed a video in a topic, and it's really simple !
This option only works for :

1. Youtube
2. Google video
3. Dailymotion

1. How to embed Youtube videos in a post
   
   If you want to embed, for example, the video "Parkour Generations:Visions" which is available on Youtube here : youtube.com/watch?v=O-KQYi_ZI5Y , you need to get the "ID" of the video.
   The ID is the variable AFTER " youtube.com/watch?v= " and BEFORE " &eurl= " if exist, or any other variable starting by &.
   
   Example : youtube.com/watch?v=O-KQYi_ZI5Y&amp...our-videos.com/
   -> The ID is O-KQYi_ZI5Y
   
   
   You can also find the ID in the code provided by Youtube below the video, named "embed". Click here to view a screenshot of where you can find the embed code.
   
   CODE
   <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/O-KQYi_ZI5Y&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/O-KQYi_ZI5Y&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
   In this code, the ID is after youtube.com/v/ and before " &rel=1 " . &rel=1 is not needed.
   
   
   
   To embed the video in your post, you need to put this ID between the tags [ youtube ] and [/ youtube ] (without spaces)
   Example :
   CODE
   [youtube]O-KQYi_ZI5Y[/youtube]
   This will display the video like this :
   
   
   Note that the video is automatically centered.
   
   
   
   
   
2. How to embed Google videos in a post
   You can easily embed Google videos in your posts on parkour.net.
   To do it, you need to extract the id of the video from the url.
   Example with the video "Speed Air Man" with David Belle. The video is available on Google video at this url : video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8225377365841858933
   The id of the video is after video.google.com/videoplay?docid= , so, in this example, the id is -8225377365841858933
   
   Simply put the id of the video between the Google video tags :
   
   CODE
   [googlevideo]-8225377365841858933[/googlevideo]
   
   
   Example :
   
   
   Note that the video is automatically centered.
   
   
   
   
3. How to embed Dailymotion videos in a post
   Dailymotion gives the opportunity to embed videos on other sites. To display the video in a port on parkour.net, you need to pick the code :
   
   CODE
   <div><object width="425" height="335"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/6cWDeOHJ4PoH6mMSZ"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/6cWDeOHJ4PoH6mMSZ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="335" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x38eox_pub-rushhour-bbc-usa-with-david-bel_sport">Pub Rush-Hour BBC (USA) with David Belle - Parkour-videos.co</a></b><br /><i>envoyé par <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/SpeedAirMan">SpeedAirMan</a></i></div>
   
   ... and take the code / id of the file. Here it's : 6cWDeOHJ4PoH6mMSZ and you can find it easily : it's a part of the code in "value".
   
   CODE
   value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/6cWDeOHJ4PoH6mMSZ"
   
   
   Then, simply put this code between the dailymotion tags :
   
   CODE
   [dailymotion]6cWDeOHJ4PoH6mMSZ[/dailymotion]
   
   
   It will look like :
   
   
   
   The video is "rush hour" TV advert with David Belle. Note that it is automatically centered.
