Embed video with video filter module

The video filter module let’s you add embedded video with a simple tag ([video:url]) using a Drupal input filter. A whole bunch of video sites are supported check out the project page for more information.

Good question, I have not played with embed media field for a while. Try adjusting the width and height in the field settings section.

Just installed the Video Filter module with my new clean Drupal 6.1 website. Showed up fine in Site Building>module where I enabled it. Also in permissions. But no administrator tasks to set. Isn't showing up under create content or as an option under page or story. Can't find where to add my YouTube URL.
Checked help files, but no answer there.

The Video Filter module doesn't create a new content type, it allows you to add videos by placing "[video:url]" into the "body" field.

Go to "Administer >> Site configuration >> Inputs formats" and configure the filter on a specific format (Filter HTML).
