I think folks need to learn how to embed a video.
Here's what you do. Go to your You Tube page. Click on 'share' click on 'embed'. Go to 'use old embed code' copy and paste into your original post here.
Better yet, upload the video to upload.outdoorsfirst.com.

One thing to keep in mind is that the embedded YouTube videos don't show up on iPad browsers (not sure about other apple products or if a non-safari browser would work). I also tried to upload some video to OFM but didn't have any luck. Would always stop during some of the conversion process.

That is on your end, our encoder is working fine with the exception of the WMV9 codec listed below. I uploaded several over the last couple days and so have several other folks. Did you render your video using a supported codec? How large was the file?
I have encountered a couple issues with the WMV9 codec hanging up in the encoder, don't use that one.
Best I have found for exporting is H.264. If the file is HUGE use a video resizer, there are several free ones out there.
I really like the AVS4You software, it's not expensive and really is nicely designed.

Pretty big file, if during the upload anything in your connection burps, the upload will fail. I'd bet that's the case. Next time set the encoder at 1280X720 at the largest, and even smaller if you can do a custom preset. Are you editing on a mac or pc? What program are you using?
640X360 is native 16:9. or, resize the original file, as I said for $60 you can get AVS4YOU unlimited access for video and still imagery editing, and other helpful software.
Otherwise, you can use any free resizer, but be careful when uploading not to upload bloatware/spyware, you will have the option to refuse it.
From the upload 'My Account' screen:
Best Practices:
When uploading to OutdoorsFIRST, YouTube or other services, it is best to upload "exported" video already in a square pixel format. We recommend .mpg, .avi, .mov, and.mp4 file types.
For uploading the following export settings are recommended:
Sizes:
(4:3): 640 x 480 or 480 x 360
(16:9): 1280 x 720 or 640 x 360
Bitrates:
Use broadband presets for best quality, or bitrates of at least 1.5 mbps.
OFM Upload will accept HD video. If HD Video of at least 720p is uploaded, an HD version wil be created, in addition to the standard and iPhone-compatible versions.
