----------------Overview of Platforms

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_services-

There are two styles of embed codes that are available for YouTube videos; youtube and blogger blogspot; iframe ; youtube autoshare

Compare the video window with the insert button of the blogger post editor (
http://ex-ample.blogspot.com/2011/06/best-video-format-for-blogger.html
and
http://ex-ample.blogspot.com/2011/06/dont-use-insert-video-of-blogger-editor.html)
and the video inserted with the embed code given by youtube
when you upload your video (see the HTML code of this post ).
This HTML code uses object and embed tags:

---------------- or via youtube URL; just clic on this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0v5tGIsne4
The ID of this video is : H0v5tGIsne4 (11 characters).
------------------
if you use the embed code given by youtube with the "share button",
the tag is "iframe":


There are many differences with the video of the beginnig of this post.
In your blogger post editor, you can see the first image of your video (iframe).

Snapshots : the "iframe code"

----------------Conclusion:
There are two styles of embed codes that are available for YouTube videos. The new embed code begins with iframe... and supports both Flash and HTML5 video and then it is the best method. The older style of embed code begins with object... and only supports Flash playback.

-----------------------

the link between your blogspot.com and your youtube is manual (this post) but with other web services (facebook, twitter, reader, buzz, orkut, MySpace; 6 services @ june 2011), it 's automatic:

See some snapshots of youTube autoShare :

 after linking youtube access with twitter and buzz, you will get the messages:

Then all your activities in youtube are published to twitter and buzz...

Don't use the "insert video" of the blogger editor! Publish on youtube first; error Blog ID

                                                                         (résumé en français à la fin)
Add video to your blog is easy with the "insert video" button of the blogger editor  is not interoperable.


You should never upload your video by using default offer inside blogger Blog. 


There are 2 ways to add video to your blogger blogspot.

1. upload from your hard-disk to youtube (or dailymotion...) and add/share a YOUTUBE Video in your post. This first solution is better and interoperable.
2. with the "insert video" of the blogger video editor and upload from your hard-disk 

Don't use this second solution and this is my analysis:
http://ex-ample.blogspot.com/2011/06/best-video-format-for-blogger.html
and
http://ex-ample.yolasite.com/html.php

Videos uploaded through Blogger are hosted in sub-domains of googlevideo.com  (@ june 2011) with processing/embed/playerFlash with youtube. The blogger videos are kept private and will are not included in Google Video search (http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=67428).

-----------------

If you want to publish at several sites and blogs, first publish your video in YouTube or DailyMotion...
And after, you must embed your YouTube Video.

There are two styles of embed codes that are available for YouTube videos
http://ex-ample.blogspot.com/2011/06/youtube-and-blogger-blogspot.html

1. To embed a video from YouTube in blogger, just copy the code from the "Embed" box on the video's YouTube page (2 ways). You can find the "Embed" box in the "About This Video" box when you're watching the video. You can also get the code from the "Embed HTML" box on the "Edit Video" page if the video belongs to your YouTube account.
2. To embed a YouTube video within a blog post, first click "Edit HTML" from within the post editor. Next, paste the video's code into the body of your post. That's it!

-------
If you post YouTube videos to your blog regularly, sharing directly from YouTube is even easier and you'll only have to set it up once:

1. Click the "Share" button on the YouTube video's page
2. Scroll down and click "Setup your blog for video posting."
3. Click "Add a Blog/Site"
4. Choose "Blogger" as your Blog Service and fill in your Google Account login information.
5. Choose which blogs you'd like to add to your YouTube account. You can choose more than one.
6. From now on, when you click "Share", you'll be given the option to post YouTube videos directly to your blogs!

In mid June 2011, Google decided to end the dichotomy of Google Video versus YouTube, and concentrate their video hosting for Blogger blogs with YouTube:
http://video.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138275

Sometimes an error occurs:
"Sorry, there was an error uploading your video. Please contact support and include the following information:
Blog Id:123456
Video Id: 123456789

It is clear  don't use the blogger editor "insert video"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

pour publier des video sur son blogspot:
il y a 3 methodes:
 1) dans l'éditeur de post/billet de blogger en cliquant sur l'icone "insertion video"
     C'est une très mauvaise méthode: ce billet
                                                       (je sais c'est en anglais mais ca reste lisible)
2) dans youtube (ou autre comme dailyMotion),
il y a 2 methodes: http://ex-ample.blogspot.com/2011/06/youtube-and-blogger-blogspot.html
    2-a) encapsuler (embed) classique
    2-b) encapsulé avec une "iframe" (HTML5)-->meilleur méthode

Best video format for Blogger blogspot.com upload? Add a Video in a Blog.

"insert image" button creates an upload and at the end a link to 1, 2,3 or 4.bp.blogger.com but "insert video" is more complex.
I think that "insert video" of your blogger editor is not good at all, but bellow, i explain some tips.
see:
http://ex-ample.blogspot.com/2011/06/dont-use-insert-video-of-blogger-editor.html
http://ex-ample.blogspot.com/2011/06/youtube-and-blogger-blogspot.html

With this awful "insert video", and after your upload from your hard-disk, your video file 1) is processed and 2) needs a player.
Your video is transformed, hosted on youtube (googlevideo.com), and embed in your blog (in order to use the adobe flash player and this player must be installed).

Many Video file formats are available for your video: AVI, MPEG, QuickTime, Real, Windows Media.

http://www.google.com/support/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=112498#addvideos
Max=100 MB/file.

I think that H264 video format with 320X240 is a good compromise for a blog
(if you don't know H264 codec, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC).

If your video is lower than 320X240, it will be transformed to 320X240pixels video with very bad effects:

If you upload a 320X240 file, then:

If you click (right on PC or ctrl on mac) on your video post then you get this menu:

Select "show video info"
("take speed test" gives many data on your connection).
