  I am trying to use an embed code to insert a video clip into my post. Here’s a link to the video. http://archive.org/details/dmbb24627 If that does not work the embed code is : <iframe src=”http://archive.org/embed/dmbb24627″ width=”640″ height=”480″ frameborder=”0″></iframe>
  I have “Visual” and “Text” tabs on my ‘add post’ page. I went to the “text” tab and pasted the embed code and then went back to the visual tab where I see a yellow box but, when I click on “preview post” I don’t see the video. Can you please let me know what I’m doing wrong? Thanks so much.

  Their embed code uses an iframe, which we can’t allow for security reasons.

  At this time, we can only support embeds from the services listed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/

  I was able to track down the same commercial on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvd6o53eDLk

  You can embed it following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/youtube/
