At the current moment, TrackTalk users have the option to embed four types of videos:
RunnerSpace
Flotrack
YouTube
Google
I am going to go through the RunnerSpace and Flotrack options and help pinpoint what each [TAG] is looking for. Both the Google and YouTube options are rather self explanatory: Video URL , Video URL , Video URL , etc.
1. RunnerSpace
EXAMPLE URL W/VIDEO: http://www.runnerspace.com/eprofile.php?do=videos&event_id=141
After pushing play you are presented with the option to embed the video. Once the "embed" button is clicked a small text box appears with the embedded HTML code.

Highlight and copy that text. Paste it somewhere (notepad, the working version of your post, etc.). This is an example of what the code looks like:
<script src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?width=480&height=360&deepLinkEmbedCode=oyYXZnMTp0pYxDAPuM3m3hIZnTcn6ww-&embedCode=oyYXZnMTp0pYxDAPuM3m3hIZnTcn6ww-"></script>
The text in bold is the parameter that the RunnerSpace [TAG] needs.
Code:
oyYXZnMTp0pYxDAPuM3m3hIZnTcn6ww-
End Result:
oyYXZnMTp0pYxDAPuM3m3hIZnTcn6ww-
**Note that not all RunnerSpace video parameters will end in "-"**
2. Flotrack
EXAMPLE URL W/VIDEO: http://www.flotrack.org/videos/coverage/view_video/236995-harry-jerome-international-track-and-field-classic/345870-natasha-wodak-2nd-place-1500-at-2010-harry-jerome-classic
http://tracktalk.net/dev/flotrackembed.jpg
Highlight and copy the code provided by Flotrack. Paste it somewhere (i.e. notepad, the working version of your post, etc.). This is an example of what the code looks like:
<embed src="http://c1403192.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/player.swf" wmode="transparent"
width="480"
height="270"
bgcolor="#"
allowscriptaccess="always"
allowfullscreen="true"
flashvars="image=http://d1xm19c2e3uqmo.cloudfront.net/21_NatashaWodak2ndplace1500at2010HarryJeromeC_1278390305541_l.jpg

&controlbar=over&stretching=fil
l&theme=#FB0000&border=0" />
<p><a href="http://www.flotrack.org">Track and Field Videos on Flotrack</a></p>
Look for the italicized parameter above and copy the bold text. Notice that the specific part of the parameter we need appears in another spot too. The Flotrack [TAG] is looking for the filename of the video. Specifically, the portion we need is preceded by "file=http://d18tka3ecu2l5z.cloudfront.net/" and beforethe file type ".mp4".
Code:
21_NatashaWodak2ndplace1500at2010HarryJeromeC_1278390305541
End Result:
21_NatashaWodak2ndplace1500at2010HarryJeromeC_1278390305541
