but when it looks like this "http://www.youtube.com/v/FMOHgLyvn10" ... all is well.

Where do we tell them to get the proper url from?

That's because the URL used in the embed code is completely different from the URL the video is located on. The $[fieldXX] variable will only be replace with the value entered in the field. If you try changing the code to where it uses the full URL, then there will be conflicts, as the embed code doesn't really use that URL structure. This makes it to where it requires even more steps, because now the user will have to extract the URL of the video from the embed code, rather then just grabbing the characters after the equals symbol in the URL. And to be perfectly blunt, if they can't find the video ID, then finding the URL in embed code is going to be impossible. The easiest, and most consistent way to get the mod to work is to use the ID number alone.
