You can make a simple edit to the standard code to make it accept the full URL instead of just the code, for example my youtube vid code is:

PHP Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2">
<div align="left"><a target="_blank" href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v={param}">Youtube Video</a></div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" colspan="2"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="395" height="331"></embed></object><br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table> 


That just uses the video code from the end of the URL, but you could edit it to

PHP Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="1">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="2">
<div align="left"><a target="_blank" href="{param}">Youtube Video</a></div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" colspan="2"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{param}"></param><embed src="{param}" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="395" height="331"></embed></object><br>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table> 


And that will now take the full URL instead.
