Amazing landscape...

Do you think we will ever put a man on Mars? Will it be in our lifetime?


What was the name of that piano piece? I liked that.

Just edit it to keep the "v=" part after the ?, e.g.

Thanks Paul; why do we erase everything after the ambersand on other videos, but most stuff before the ambersand on this one? Does it have to do with the fact that its an HD video? :think:

Whoa, and why did my Mac's spell-checker flag the second "ambersand", but not the first??? :scared-yipes: :scared-yipes: :scared-yipes:

Because it's "ampersand." It's just pointing out your mental deficiency for misspelling it twice in a row.

A URL has any number of arguments, and the order doesn't matter. That is, your original had "v=..." and "feature=..." (or something like that). These arguments are separated by '&', and the '?' separates the web address from the list of arguments. That is, URLs are like

http://some.server/some_page?argument_1=something&argument_2=something&...

In the case of our youtube embedder, it can only have a single argument, the "v=..." part. Everything else, regardless of ordering in the original url, must be removed.

Neat, I learned something about HTML today! :handgestures-thumbup: :handgestures-thumbup: :handgestures-thumbup:
