If you use the wysiwyg editor it strips out the object and embed code and in addition to breaking the video code also (with this theme anyway) breaks the sites layout because you all the sudden have gibberish text which isn't inside any elements. Since I end up posting a lot of videos I have just quit using the wysiwyg editor and use the regular editor with quicktags. The wysiwyg editor actually had a few annoying quirks I disliked anyway (unintelligible differentiation between where to end paragraph tags and where to put line breaks for example), but it's still a bit annoying that I don't have the choice. There is a way to go through and edit the base wordpress files to modify what tags are stripped and which are not but whenever possible I try to avoid using hacks/modifications to the actual php files because whenever an upgrade is released I will have to go back through and redo them all again.

When i'm posting pictures I have to edit the code sometimes and that's how I do it. I've never tried it with video, but I imagine you can type out the rest of your post, then go to edit the code and paste whatever you need in there. I'm gonna have to try that later and see how it works. Can’t you just hit that little html button on the visual editor to bring up the popup window that lets you edit the raw code?
