  I want to embed a video from a foreign website and I’m having difficultly. On most video links here in the US there will be a button for embedding to wordpress, but this one just has a general “embed” button. When I paste the URL into wordpress I only get the html, not the video.

  The video I’m trying to embed is the main one on this page: http://canalstreet.canalplus.fr/tendances/street-legends/street-legends-episode-2-clyde

  I’d like to avoid the video upgrade because it’s not necessary in this case, i.e. I don’t actually have the video file itself on my computer because it’s a commercial video.

  Thanks for your help!
