Why is video embedding so screwed up?

If you're having troubles embedding a youTube video make sure on you're using the old embed code.

On youTube click the embed button and then there should be a series of checkboxes.  The bottom one should say use old embed code, make sure that is checked.

Or just do what dsisters pic showed... It's been a long time since I had a problem using the embedded media tool.

(ie copy the url of the youtube vid (from the url bar in your browser) and paste it into the box in the embedded media window.

Yah I thought I clarified I am aware of how to use the video tool. However the URL worked with one video but the other URL didn't. This happens often and I have to right click and copy the current time URL. Then I'm wondering why the embed media button doesn't appear when creating a new thread, I have to always edit the thread afterwards and embed the video.

Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
