Dailymotion video borks the video-area

I added one video from youtube, and it worked great. Then I added another from Dailymotion, and the YT video disappeared.

Yeah, I've noticed that. It's because DailyMotion doesn't seem to support the oembed standard. Usually when we have 2 or more videos, there is a nice JavaScript scroller so that you can switch between them.
Just remove the DailyMotion video and the problem should disappear.

And we should add some code to detect that oembed is not supported and not allow such videos on Filmaster, but that seems like a non-trivial task (at least not a 5-minute one).

Oh, that's too bad. Could you contact them and ask them to implement oembed, you think? I'll do it too. :)

You can also mail Google Video and PollDaddy as those are the sites not supporting oEmbed as well (source: Easy Embeds For WordPress 2.9).

speaking of bad news...YouTube does not always offer an 'embed' option for its videos, sometimes you can find this: "embedding disabled by request"...and unfortunately this is exactly what happens with the Academy's official videos. :( For instance:
