4 New Ways to Embed Video
We’ve noticed that video embedding is mighty popular among WordPress.com bloggers. For example, there are over 3,000 YouTube videos embedded into new blog posts around here every day!
To add to the fun, we’ve added support for 4 additional video players:
DailyMotion: There was a petition for us to add DailyMotion support, so we got right on it. Embedding instructions are here, you can also post to your WordPress.com blog directly from the DailyMotion player by using their “blog this video” feature.
SplashCast: Splashcast is a brand new player that lets you combine video, music, photos and text. Embedding instructions are here, posting from their site directly to your blog is coming soon.
LiveVideo: LiveVideo is a rapidly growing video sharing site and we now support embedding of their player, as well as posting to your wp.com blog from their player.
PodTech: Last but not least, PodTech offers videos and podcasts on all kinds of tech topics. Embedding instructions are here.

‘4 New Ways to Embed Video’, sounds just another sentence of interest as I read through. But one needs to appreciate the amount of effort and hard work that goes into the making-of-this-possibility. Its good to see, that from the time WORDPRESS has come around, it has always strived and tried to give a clear-cut view of blogging to many of its apprentices.
Keep up the good work. My best wishes to you and your Team of dedicated personnel.

Hi this might be a more local interest, but could You try how to embed video clips directly from http://sevenload.de (a german video clip portal, in a similar style as YouTube, but featuring also pictures) and *psst it is much more comfortable to use, has more cool features and is even miles better than the performance of YT 🙂
As announced this might concern just a little group of people but in germany it is a quite popular thing. Many of the german bloggers – I would assert – are using it (even if the most host their blog on personal webspace and use PlugIns for that reason and won´t need).
It would make many things to me, more comfortable and easy-2-use…
Anyway, also the state of art is very high level, first class and top supporting throughout the WordPress User Community!
Thanks for that great job!
