    1) No like images, that have to be uploaded from your hard disk to the AB server using the "Upload Image" button, videos can only be embedded.
    When you click the "Upload Video" button under your answer, it displays a "Attach a video:" input field where you can write the "embed" code, according to the following text (under the input field):
    "Enter the <embed> code from Youtube, Google, Myspace, or Yahoo! to add a video to your answer."


    2) For instance on YouTube, in the right margin under the info, there are two fields, "URL" and "Embed".
    You just copy the *full* content of that field and paste in the "Attach a video:" input field on Answerbag.

    Beware that a part of the field content is not displayed!


    3) For instance, I took the following video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH_kLA0iroE
    (this is the content of the URL field)

    The content of the "Embed" field is:

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dH_kLA0iroE&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dH_kLA0iroE&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Note that some element could be displayed wrongly by Answerbag, when inserted in the Answer field.
