http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/datablog/video/2010/jul/25/afghanistan-war-logs-video-tutorial

the only embed they have is with iframe:

<!-- Start of guardian embedded video -->
<!-- To prevent the video from auto playing set 'a=true' in the following line of code-->
<iframe src="http://gu-embedded-video.appspot.com/?a=false&u=/world/datablog/video/2010/jul/25/afghanistan-war-logs-video-tutorial" style="border:0; overflow:hidden;" scrolling="no" width="460px" height="397px"></iframe>
<!-- End of guardian embedded video -->

[gigya src="http://gu-embedded-video.appspot.com/?a=false&u=/world/datablog/video/2010/jul/25/afghanistan-war-logs-video-tutorial"]

but don't work. Don't exist something to emulate iframe?

If they supply flash code you can use the Gigya workaround.

Thank you for response. I tried, but don't work well (maybe the problem was with the attributes, i don't know.

In Posterous, the embed code from Guardian worked perfectly. :(

The embed code:
<iframe src="http://gu-embedded-video.appspot.com/?a=false&u=/world/datablog/video/2010/jul/25/afghanistan-war-logs-video-tutorial" style="border:0; overflow:hidden;" scrolling="no" width="460px" height="397px"></iframe>
