i noticed that if I post video links from Europe, it doesn't show in the U.S..

Here you automaticly get the youtu.be link instead of the youtube.com link.
They say you have to convert it.

Youtube has introduced a new URL shorthand – youtu.be
For example youtu.be/DIArJjU8HjE takes you to
youtube.com/watch?v=DIArJjU8HjE&feature=youtu.be
Annoyingly this means that any users pasting a youtu.be URL into your video parsing scripts will be told it doesn’t work, so we’d best get updating those scripts!
Pop this in before you start processing the url, where $url is, not surprisingly, the url to be parsed.

[update 20110720-1657]While implementing this and similar for grabbing youtube thumbnails today I suddenly though, what if youtube ever starts using https? Well, the odds may be slim, but the costs of allowing for it are negligible, so why take the risk?

Now I manually change www.youtu.be/@@@@@@@@@@ to www.youtube.com/watch?v=@@@@@@@@@@@
......and just hope for it to show.

Might this be something to be made easier in Dogfight Elite?
