[teaching with drupal] embedding video revisited

[Bleck, Bradley]

I don't think I ever got emfield to work. I had to install several other modules, content and cck I think, before I could even install, or activate, emfield all the way.

I was only having one problem though, with a video that when I uploaded it to youtube, I lost the audio. I had the producers of the video get me another copy and all I had to do was copy and paste the youtube crud and it worked just fine, as had previous videos where I simply loaded the youtube stuff and it worked just fine.

Whether emfield worked for me, or not, I have no clue. I couldn't find any direction on what I needed to do. Just putting in the url for the video, loaded to /files, didn't do the trick.

I saved this thread because I thought it might come in handy, but I
couldn't figure out an easy way to put a YouTube video in a Drupal
node. I tried the emfield module, but couldn't get through the
installation--I thought I had all the other required modules turned
on, but perhaps not.

Here's my question: why won't Drupal allow me to simply paste in the
embed code for a video and display it? I tried it in WordPress, and it
worked perfectly, without any plugins or special code.

If I just put a link on my site to the video, it pops up in windows media player. Anyone have a way to load a video and play it within the site itself? I'll keep playing with it, but if you can beat me to the punch, I'd appreciate it.
