At the begining of your code you have this:/www.youtube.com/
it should be this: http://www.youtube.com/
that will get rid of the partial code showing

You're missing some of the YouTube code. You have this:

<div class="Object115">/www.youtube.com/v/_Qt1Xfbkpws&hl=en&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Qt1Xfbkpws&hl=en&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="373"></embed></object></div>

Which might be easier to see like this:

<div class="Object115">
/www.youtube.com/v/_Qt1Xfbkpws&hl=en&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Qt1Xfbkpws&hl=en&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="373"></embed>
</object>
</div>

If you look at the above and compare with the code you get from YouTube, the opening object tag is completely missing, and only the end of the first param tag is present with a portion of the url being chopped as Bruce pointed out.

The following is the code you should insert after deleting the YouTube stuff you've inserted.

<object width="425" height="373">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Qt1Xfbkpws&hl=en&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1"></param>
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_Qt1Xfbkpws&hl=en&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="373"></embed>
</object>

Hey guy's, i'm experiencing the same problem trying to post a youtube video in VSD, it's showing code using the code provided above, swapping out for my personal links. Is there any other way to write the code in VSD?

Make the video isn't set to private.
Also click share then grab the embed code.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
