I haven't checked this forum for a while and didn't notice the additional comments.

I am not techy person and I am not sure if I can make thing clear...What I did, is that I published the video via Vodpod, and once it is published, I went to "edit post' and HTML code, look for a word "autoplay" among all the symbols, and changed the word "true" to 'false' written after 'autoplay' among % or some kind of symbols. There are usually two 'autoplay' words and I corrected 2 'true' to 'false' (ONLY the word but not other symbols).

If you use the post to wordpress toolbar it will autoplay in your blog and its impossible to correct the autostart but if you use the wordpress tool bar and use the EMBED CODE (literally have to copy paste) it will not autostart unless you add an autoplay prompt. Whewf!

I have to change the embeded tag, from "autoPlay=true", to "autoPlay=false", and it works!!

Thank you again for your help, and hope you have a great day!

Say hi from raincoaster the next time you see him, wouldja?

It looks like you posted that via Vodpod. http://en.support.wordpress.com/videos/vodpod/ I think you would need to change your settings there; the problem is, if you're taking it straight from the BBC's account, they might have it set for Autoplay. That's big in Britain and all civilized nations hate it.

I embed a video once in a while, using vidpod on my blog.
Some of the videos (not all) starts automatically, without pushing arrow to start, and it is very annoying, especially when several videos play at the same time on the same page.

Does anybody know how to fix it – from auto start to manual start.

Thanks!!
