Embedding videos from youtube in a generic way

I am creating a web site where users submit their (raw) youtube links and the system should automatically embed them. However, I cannot embed the youtube videos unless I get the special embed link given by youtube. How can I manage to embed any youtube link provided to the system ? Any suggestions ?

Cenmre, I have the perfect solution for you.

YouTube supports oEmbed, which lets you send it any URL, and get back the appropriate embed code.

Read more about the standard, and how YouTube supports it.

Can't you just drop this in, and update video_id as need be?

<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0">
</iframe>
