On my initial test I was able to embed a video in a blogpost using
<iframe> fine.

eg I added this in html view:

<p>testing time</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fHCOJqdV8xI"; width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>another test</p>

and switching back to wysiwyg view showed me the video.

I also tried with embedded object code:
<p>testing time</p>
<p><object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/fHCOJqdV8xI?hl=en_US&amp;version=3" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fHCOJqdV8xI?hl=en_US&amp;version=3"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" /></object></p>
<p>another test</p>

and again switching back to wysiwyg view showed me the video.

I wonder if tinymce is better at handling the embedded video code now?

Anyway - it doesn't seem t to be a problem anymore

Title:
  Embedded video not shown in blog editor

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When I embed a video in a blog post, the code stays in the HTML
  editor, but I don't see anything in the WYSIWYG editor thus tempting
  me to think the video was not embedded properly.

  WordPress solves that problem by putting a generic placeholder there
  that just says that an object was embedded. That way it is possible to
  continue writing the blog post and knowing that the video is there.
