ASP.NET MVC 3 Video.Flash helper not working

I want to embed some youtube videos at my site using Video.Flash helper. Microsoft.Web.Helpers is added to the References.

Using

@Microsoft.Web.Helpers.Video.Flash(path: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENf_RJMz2WE")

or

@Microsoft.Web.Helpers.Video.Flash("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENf_RJMz2WE")

doesn't show anything. Just a blank page. If I right click, the menu says "Movie not loaded".

I have flash player installed correctly, I can see youtube videos.. Any ideas?

The URL you're passing is the full HTML Youtube page rather than the flash video itself. To embed the video youtube uses the URL format youtube.com/v/{id} rather than youtube.com/watch?v={id}. The correct way would be:

@Microsoft.Web.Helpers.Video.Flash("http://www.youtube.com/v/ENf_RJMz2WE")

where ENf_RJMz2WE is your video id.
