In the case of the code you pasted above, you isolate this:
<embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:vh1.com:815709/cp~id%3D1689765%26vid%3D815709%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Avh1.com%3A815709" width="512" height="288" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed>

and turn it to this:
[gigya src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:vh1.com:815709/cp~id%3D1689765%26vid%3D815709%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Avh1.com%3A815709" width="512" height="288" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="." ]

So if the video player used by VH1 is not supported by WordPress, then there is no way to embed it?

@torlarson54 Correct I recommend to try finding the same video through one of the supported embed video sites. The other option is to link to the video in your post

In the furture it would be best if you please do not post into forum threads when you don't have a link to backup what you say, as all you do is create a chain of misinformation and confusion.

@torlarson54
Embedding videos is free of all charge, except in one case. The only paid upgrade for videos is for the videopress upgrade it allows you to upload videos from your computer for hosting and playback directly within your blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/
That does not apply to your situation.

Trying to embed the video from this link: http://www.vh1.com/video/misc/815709/naive-melody-you-oughta-know-live.jhtml#id=1689765 onto my blog. However, the embed function doesn't seem to work - when I paste it into my blog and then preview it, it just shows up as the code vs. generating the video.

Code as listed on the site is: <embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:vh1.com:815709/cp~id%3D1689765%26vid%3D815709%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Avh1.com%3A815709" width="512" height="288" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> <div style="margin:0px;padding:4px;width:500px;text-align:center;font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;font-size:12px;">The Lumineers - Naive Melody (You Oughta Know Live) - The Lumineers Music Videos - Live Performances</div>

Is there something I need to do to make this wordpress friendly?

Any help would be appreciated!

You can convert any flash embed code into a working shortcode, but the embed code of the video you linked to isn't flash, it's an iframe: can't be used on wordpress.com.

Am I suppose to do something differently with these sources to get the embedding to show up properly? Or is it some sort of policy for those site for the embed code to simply be a link back to their site?

example link
http://www.thedailyshow.com/extended-interviews/415858/playlist_tds_extended_marco_rubio/415836

Do you have any way to grab the embed code off that video and paste it into a post so that I can embed it? Thanks in advance :)

I tried the video sizing but the maximum size it will give me is a height of 281. The videos that took the normal link were large for some reason.

Link to the issue is http://www.dontmisstheboat.org

You will see I left a link on top of the video that should have been enough for the video to show up but wasn't.

Only the text of the web address from Vimeo shows up. I want the video to display in the blog like my previous videos have. In the past my workaround has been to add a video that worked in the past, post that along with the new video link that won't show up. At that point the old video somehow triggers the new video to show up and then I delete the old video link. However for my last post I cannot get the video to show no matter what I do.
Does anyone know why this happens with Vimeo videos. I should be able to just paste the videos address and Vimeo does the rest.

and then this is the code for the embed video:
