Bmpm, there are many ways to post a video. DU software converts video links for you so the easiest way is to go to youtube and find the video you want. You browser will show you the url in the address bar.
Select the entire url (url is the address on the Internet where something resides. For youtube it starts with http://www.youtube.com/a bunch of unrelated letters and such.
Double click it to highlight the address.
Right-click on the highlighted address, select copy, come to DU and start your post.
Right-click in the body of the compose window (where we write our posts)
Select paste.
Write anything else you want but don't change anything in the address you pasted.
Submit the post and enjoy!
