  Hello there,
  You can post just about any video to your WordPress.com blog using VodPod’s “ Post to WordPress” button. Have you tried using vodpod? http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vodpod/

  The link:
  http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/external/player.swf
  is not a link to a video.

  If we had the actual link, perhaps we could help using gigya shortcode.

  @Tess: No, that’s ok – it’s the URL of the player. The actual video is fetched via the flashvars string. The problem is that the code pasted above breaks off before the completion of that string.

  @coffeebead: If you have the complete code, you can upload the video by converting the code as explained here:
