Yea, that's why I don't want all the links to convert to embeds, instead give users a choice.

Unchecking would mean that the whole post will not be embedded.
If we can do a [youtube]http://youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxx[/youtube] kinda thing that would convert the url to link, it would be good.

It would mean that users can embed those vids that are not disabled and post links to those which are in a single post. I currently do this with youtube tags, but users would have to extract the Video ID from the url to put in between the tags.. which is a hassle and a problem to users not familiar to the url structures/query strings.

With some simple programming we should be able to extract the ID even if the url varies like below:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&feature=related
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&...mesite.com/yyy
