This site software does not do well with embedded...have you tried copy/paste of the actual url directly into your post?...

Thanks, ClutchDirk.  It's funny, when you quote me in your reply, I see the hyperlinked texted in the quote, but not in the original post.  It looks the same when I just cut/paste the link in my post, like this:

I do not know how to embed those kind of videos any better. The embed.ly plugin automatically grabs links, which is great for Twitter, but bad for this. YouTube automatically embeds well, but these videos don't. I looked and cannot find a way forward in my amateur state.
