If you are looking for a quick and easy module to embed videos from social video sites such as YouTube, Google Video, Vimeo etc. Then look no further than the Video Filter Module for Drupal. This is a highly flexible and easy extendable filter module to embed any type of video in your site using a simple tag. Included codecs for the module currently include:
- YouTube
- Google Video
- GodTube
- DailyMotion
- Eyespot
- Jumpcut
- Revver
- Vimeo
The module also includes some well written documentation for adding more codecs to the module if you need to.
Features include:
- Setting default width, height and autoplay setting per input filter using filter settings.
- Overriding default width, height and autoplay setting in the filtered code.
- Show random video from comma sepparated list of urls
- Aligning the embedded video left or right.
- Extensions may use additional attributes, e.g. the YouTube extension has a playlist attribute to load a random video from a playlist.
Usage:
I have recently set this up in a new Drupal site that I am managing and it is working perfectly for me in Drupal version 5! I have experienced no errors at all and i’m loving how easy it is!

It’s a very good module, but it needs expanding to cover more video services by default.
There are a few video services who have had an issue with a fix for for quite a while, but the module seems to be dead with regards to new additions.
It works, and works well, but it is artificially holding itself back.
Seems like simple but very powerful module.
There doesn’t seem to be any way to include a thumbnail gallery view of any kind… shame, I thought I was onto a good thing there for a while.
