  I am trying to embed a Kaltura video in my blog. Every time I copy and paste the HTML code from Kaltura, WordPress changes the code to a URL and does not display the embeddable player. Below is the code I am trying to embed:

  <object id=”kaltura_player_1330977620″ name=”kaltura_player_1330977620″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowFullScreen=”true” allowNetworking=”all” allowScriptAccess=”always” height=”285″ width=”400″ bgcolor=”#000000″ xmlns:dc=”http://purl.org/dc/terms/” xmlns:media=”http://search.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/media/” rel=”media:video” resource=”http://video.pbsd.k12.pa.us/index.php/kwidget/cache_st/1330977620/wid/_102/uiconf_id/4421534/entry_id/0_2mydou1d” data=”http://video.pbsd.k12.pa.us/index.php/kwidget/cache_st/1330977620/wid/_102/uiconf_id/4421534/entry_id/0_2mydou1d”><param name=”bgcolor” value=”#000000″ />video platform video management video solutions video player <span property=”dc:description” content=””></span><span property=”media:title” content=”Did+You+Know_+3.0+(FULL+VIDEO)+-+2008+Latest+Edition_001.flv”></span> <span property=”media:width” content=”400″></span><span property=”media:height” content=”285″></span> <span property=”media:type” content=”application/x-shockwave-flash”></span> </object>

  WordPress.com supports embedding videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, DailyMotion, Viddler, Blip.tv, TED Talks, and Videolog.

  Your service (Kaltura) is not listed, and that means you can give Vodpod a try, as it allows you to embed videos from thousands of different sites and services.

  As you are new to WordPress.com here are some useful links. On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/ The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page. The searchbox there provides results form the docuemntation and from forum threads.
  Best wishes qith your blog. :)
