A question about the addresses for videos from Youtube

[Bozita]

I've run across two videos in recent days where DU rejected their posting in the PV forum.

Here's the address that was rejected earlier today:
http://youtu.be/dxJSvASe3Ys

I removed the period between the u and the b. Problem solved. Posted nicely at DU.

Is this a common problem?

Or should I start looking for my box of tinfoil?

1. I wouldn't worry about it ...

YT has been using the new URL form for a short while now, and they do work if you point to that URL directly.

DU's control for posting videos is apparently parsing for URL form, and isn't happy with the ' .. tu.be ... ' ....

I am sure DU could be modified to accept this new construct as well ... They are the same content type in the end ...

2. Thank you. I just notified the Admins.

3. I was under the impression that

*.be would be a web site address for Belgium. Perhaps, that's the reason? Don't know... could be wrong. Been wrong before.

4. Here's what you could have done and how I do it

I clicked on your: http://youtu.be/dxJSvASe3Ys

The url at the top of the page said: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxJSvASe3Ys&feature=youtu.be

the " & " sign and everything after the " & " sign should be deleted

The correct direct url is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxJSvASe3Ys

Hope that helps :)
