Allow posting of video from standard URL (not embed code)
I just noticed that the VideoSift Bookmarklet allows you to automagically create a posting from some of the popular video sites (YouTube, Vimeo, College Humor, Funny or Die, Daily Motion) and I wonder why is this same functionality not added to the standard submission page?
I wouldn't mind if it was an undocumented feature, have the validate button see if its a standard URL then check if its a supported site and form the embed just like the bookmarlet does.

lucky760You can submit using just the URL for some hosts.
The bookmarklet can do it more easily because you're actually on the video host's page while in the bookmarklet so all its data is available.
antWhich hosts? Is there a list?

lucky760I think it may be all the video hosts that the bookmarklet works with. Those are listed on the bookmarklet page.
