Embed Tag

So I've been doing a little bit of Cargo Cult markup to embed video on my personal web site. I have embedded both YouTube and LiveVideo videos on my site. The thing is, to get the embedding to work with FireFox, I have to use the EMBED tag. This is not defined in XHTML 1.0 which is what I use for my entire site.

This means that pages with embedded video content don't pass the validation check. All because of that embed tag.

There is a Satay method for embedding flash while supporting standards. It doesn't work particularly well for me since I want to embed videos from LiveVideo if I get into VLogging. Either that or I'm missing something simple that I can do to have the tiny SWF file on my site link to the LiveVideo server where the actual media will be.

It seems like a lose lose situation.
