The Charlie Rose ones are actually Google Video embeds, excerpts from the same one hour video; here are the Ids:

Here is the embed test:

Hm.  I looked for them on Google Video and they weren't posted.

Here is the complete uncut video. It was posted titled "tswtre" - must be some idiotic way they thought to keep it confidential.

Explains why I couldn't find it.

Wait, does that mean someone other then CR put it on Google Video?  It's aired on tv and archived on their site - I don't think it is meant to be confidential.

Are the sep clips you posted and the google link you provided different video ids?  And how did you find those ids?

I seriously think it would be a lot easier just to let people embed videos than sending them on some scavenger hunt looking for ids for pirated Google videos.

It might mean that CR didn't want it accessed another way than through CR.

Limiting the use of HTML seems a feature in SCOOP. To make embeds work, a number of HTML tags and options would have to be enabled one by one, while macros allow a backdoor way around. But, again, I will refer this to people who know more about it.

poemless,

so I asked the techies, and the consensus seems to be that the "object" tag, which is also used for video embedding, is a security risk: spammers could use it to embed malware rather than a video. We don't know how Facebook deals with the problem: with an elaborate protection or not at all. But, ET shall keep it safe and keep it to macros. But, in tonight's OT, I will request proposals for further video sites that could be enabled this way.

Or malware in a video.

We're implicitly trusting that youtube, vimeo, google video etc are deploying a "clean" flash applet and not deploying malware to people's computer when they play an embedded video.

Can you show me what you did to post those?

Is "-7312327222922932627%3A1197000%3A2017000" the video ID?

How on earth did you find that?  I don't see it listed on the CR weblink.

It was in the Embed HTML offered by Charlie Rose. "-7312327222922932627" is the video ID, "%3A1197000%3A2017000" tells the player which part (from when to when) to cut in from the complete video.
