  Hey Holger,

  are you sure there is a video in the first link? I can only see a black screen for it on Google video, so I’m assuming it doesn’t exist? Try watching it again maybe. :)

  Ach und es gibt auch ein deutsches Forum: http://de.forums.wordpress.com/

  :)

  Are you sure that’s the right address between the Google brackets? When I enter your code it doesn’t work, but when I add &hl=de] to the end the videos show up.

  Try pasting these into the code tab of your editor, see if they show up; they’re working for me on my testblog.

  thanx for your help!
  in my case the error was the GERMAN ENDING.

  i have to change the .de to .com in the field “send the send to link to editor”
  Then it works that wordpress generates the right code.
  Only in this way the video shows up.

  wordpress don´t accept the googlevideo.de in this field (sometimes?)

  That’s odd, but thank you very much for giving us feedback. :)
