Are you getting an error when you try to submit this? Shouldn't be, as we accept Vimeo.

Edit: just tried it- and it submitted fine.

I get an error when I actually submit, but the validate worked fine initially. I also can't even validate Onion embeds. Is it me?

I think he got the PEBKAC error, which tends to be the most common one.

With the Onion clips it's usually an "a href=" at the end. Check for that.

It says [asterisk] Video Embed Code and [bullet]Invalid Entry. Posting from the Onion yields "Malformed Submission" when I validate.

Both videos have "a href=" at the end. Should I be taking this off of the embed code?

Yes, as that is to generate a hyperlink.

aah, tricky bastards! k, that lesson properly learned. I realize the video's quality is way too low for posting, really I just want to know how it works and such... that's cool if nobody knows though, just had to try.

edit: new video found, added to intro above

So I found the same embed question-answer-fix in these two sift talks as well, figured I 'd tack them on here: http://www.videosift.com/talk/Vimeo-embed-problems, http://www.videosift.com/talk/Problem-with-Vimeo-embed
