DoB Rhapsody, your only hope on a fix is to do what Digital Jedi suggested, if you dont do that then sorry but nothing else that can be done ... Just set the Character Limit a little bit more, because take into consideration that this is changing a URL into an entire Embed Code + Contained HTML, so you need to add the appropriate length ... There is no other way around it.

when i'm embedding a video i get this databse error:

how to fix it?

Any idea how I can get this metacafe URL to work with this addon?

http://www.metacafe.com/w/178495

All I get is a link.

EDIT: NEVER MIND - I haven't eaten in a while so I was getting a little spacey.. I got it working. Was looking at the wrong URL

Is there something similar to this or possibly this that would work with the videos from MSNBC or CBS news feeds?

The definition for MSNBC videos is available in the Add-On for this mod. However CBS is not available because CBS doesn't provide embed capability. This is also true for most of the major news media outlets.

Still no luck getting this to work. When turned on replies go to blank page?

Do you have an old video mod installed still, like passiveVid?

I just uninstalled it, still no luck?

I've tried AME and PassiveVid. Both produce white pages after the reply button is hit.

What's strange is that on my site, same version vb (3.7.2) it works perfect. On our other site which is virtually identical it produces these white pages when either of these mods are used.

Any thoughts on how to fix or what's happening?

There was some issues some folks had with passiveVid being still installed, or some tables still being in the database that they didn't know where still in there. I can't quite remember what the issue was, but I'd suggest trying a search of this thread and the various XML threads for this mod to see if the solution is in there somewhere.
