Can't get enough online video? Send your favorite ones to posterous and we'll publish them on your site. No need to deal with embed code, we'll do it for you! Just send us a url to a video and we'll automatically turn it into a video someone can play right in the post.

We now support Hulu, Brightcove, Viddler, Fliggo, Ted, Dailymotion and Mixwit

And we have always supported Youtube, Google Video, Vimeo, Omnisio, and JustinTV.

I leave you with The Evolution of Dance:

You are amazing. Gary was incredibly responsive to my questions yesterday on how to add a Mixwit link and today it's a new feature. Incredible! Thank you!

What about auto-embedding a .3gp attach (mobile video clip!) and make it as nice as the .jpg gallery function?

On its way?

Peace,
Anders

PS. In other words: Everythingblog? Not yet... DS.

Great job guys! Did you work out the embed code for each 1 by 1? Or did you come up with some super slick abstraction?

Video sites all seem to do things in non-standard ways, so we have to add them one-by-one, but we've done enough now that we've figured out the ways they do things so we can add them really quite fast.

Any Blip.tv coming? :(

Sachin Agarwal said...

Done. :)

I just added support for videos from blip.tv and revver.com so you just email us a link and we'll embed it for you. Please note that not all videos from blip.tv can be embedded, but if we are able to do it we will.

I've had a number of connection errors with YouTube videos in the last few days (not playing on posterous). Is this a known problem?

I'm a traditionalist -- I still like adding posts through the web interface, but haven't had much luck pasting in embeds. What's the best practice for adding video players in this manner?
