@ BOP5: That looks like too nice a product to chop up. Can you add extra tags so you could have premium tags available only for admins and still have video tags for members?

@ Peter Walker: If you want to go with AME and it can be suitably modified maybe BOP5 can give some guidance. An alternative I have in mind would be a direct edit of the file includes/class_bbcode.php to insert some code from vB4. No point using plugins here, the next upgrade will be to at least vB4 and it won't require a plugin (and besides, I'm not sure I can write the plugin code). A problem I foresee is regular members will see the [premium] tags when they quote your post and try using them just to see what happens. I don't know how to make them usable only for admins.

I haven't found all the little pieces that go into parsing a video tags so I would have to write some of it myself. If you plan on using only youtube that wouldn't be much trouble. Do you need this for other types of videos?
