They're crawling all over this comment page! I wouldn't be surprised if they keep multiplying.

Prove it. I only saw two so far.

The iframe version actually still works for me, only as input to the submit box for transformation though. That points the finger more at your browser... anyway I've given you a few things to try.

OK, right... well don't do that then!

Does it work for you now?
In reply to this comment by ant:
I was pasting iframe embed code.

In reply to this comment by oritteropo:
Just to get this straight... you are pasting the URL and not the embed code, right?

Also, have a look at this comment for another possible fix.

That almost must be something to do with your browser, perhaps an add-in, or something you've turned off that the code requires.

What happens when you try it on a different workstation, with a bog standard IE or Firefox or Safari or whatever is standard there?

I have given you the basic template though, if you really want to embed vimeo clips you can use that and just change the clip_id parameter.
In reply to this comment by ant:
Yes, the same one. VS will approve the code (with a different ID and not a dupe), but after it changes it for the final submission, then it gets rejected to say code is invalid.

Are we talking about the same video? The one in the post is

Speaking Correct Order of Words Yoda Is
http://vimeo.com/39507943

...which was posted by critical_d here - http://videosift.com/video/Speaking-Correct-Order-of-Words-Yoda-Is
When I modify the clip ID to one that hasn't posted, I get something like:


<object width="500" height="281"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=39507943&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=FFFFFF&am
p;amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0&amp;wmode=transparent" /><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=39507943&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=FFFFFF&
amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0&amp;wmode=transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="500" height="281"></embed></object>


Which ends up as:


The thing to notice is that the clip_id= parameter is the same id as the original URL, so it's easy enough to modify one embed for another video.

In reply to this comment by ant:
Weird, VS didn't even tell me it was a dupe.


In reply to this comment by oritteropo:
What was the original vimeo URL? That embed does seem to be missing a few bits...
In reply to this comment by ant:
>> ^oritteropo:

Try this:

Open the submit page (not just the pop-up box)

  • Paste vimeo URL into the embed box
  • Hit "validate embed"
  • Copy transmogrified embed
  • Paste as comment on your profile

>> ^geo321:

I've had no problem submitting their Vids. But they stopped allowing anything but iframe. I used to post their videos on my profile page but Videosift doesn't recognize those anymore. No conversion like when you're submitting a video.



<object id="1773368932" width="500" height="375">

for mine and it failed!

You can only do this for embeds which haven't already been posted to videosift, the one in the talk post has been submitted by critical_d.

Anyway, the trick certainly CAN work, and often does... start with the URL though, I haven't tried it starting with the iframe embed.
