Tired of copying and pasting the embed HTML from sites like YouTube? Then this plugin is for you. Just simply click one of the new buttons that this plugin adds to the write screen (rich editor included) and then paste the URL that the video is located at into the prompt box — easy as that. You can fully configure how the videos are displayed (width, height, colors, alignment on the page) and much more. Your site will even stay (X)HTML valid unlike with the code provided by most video sites.
Viper’s Video Quicktags supports YouTube (including playlists), Google Video, DailyMotion, Vimeo, Veoh, Viddler, Metacafe, Blip.tv, Flickr videos, Spike.com/IFILM and MySpaceTV. You can also use the [flash] shortcode to Flash-based video from any website.
Pricing: Free
Requirements: -

This is great! I have a client who publishes a lot Youtube videos in his posts and I’ve been looking for an easy way for him to do this and stay standards compliant.
A similar plugin is Insights by Vladimir Prelovac. Insights gives you the option to insert Youtube videos, easily interlink your posts, insert Flickr images, search Wikipedia, search Google, and insert a Google map all from the write panel. I’m not sure if it uses a standards compliant method to embed the Youtube video.
