So some of you have already figured it out, but here's the basics:

When you add the tags it looks like this:

Code:
[youtube=] [/youtube]


But the movie link looks like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvepYYNjfBk

What you want to do is take the bolded part, and put it in between the brackets. Then on the video page at the youtube website, you'll see the embed code. Looks like this:

Code:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mvepYYNjfBk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mvepYYNjfBk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>


What you want out of all that mess, is just the value for height, in this case, 344. You put that after the equal sign. To make:

Code:
[youtube=344]mvepYYNjfBk[/youtube]


Resulting in:



Hope that helps some people.
