[BB Code] YouTube embedded video

I didnt see anyone else release this so i thought i'd release it

What this code does is allow your members to embed YouTube Videos
into their posts. As YouTube url's always begin with http://www.youtube.com/v/
all your users need to do is copy and paste the last bit of url (found on the
YouTube site for whatever video they want to post) inside the tags (see the example below).

To Install:
1. Go To Admin CP
2. Scroll down the left nav and select Custom BB Codes
3. Add New BB Code
4. Fill in the following:

Title: YouTube BB Code
Tag: yt (You can change this to whatever you prefer, yt is just nice and small )
Replacement:

<object width="425" height="350"><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="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Example: [yt]ejOJkcs-a7s[/yt]
Description: Embeds You Tube Videos
Use {Option}: No

Enjoy! (Although its not much, this is my first release on vb.org )

Hi works great thanks, is there anyway to stop the video's being quoted? I had a hack to stop images being quoted and it showed the url instead, is this possible to be done with this yt bb code?

The original version does not start to stream until you click to start the vid. The stream is served from youtube's servers, so it does not count towards your bandwidth.

One possible problem for dial-up is that once you have started it, clicking on the pause button will not stop the streaming; it will continue to stream until it is fully buffered. This is the same as on youtube itself so I doubt there is anything one can do about it.
