OK - I looks like we are able to embed EA Sports World videos into threads thanks to Matty. Its a bit tricky so please follow along.
Embedding directly from EA Sports World
the tag is {ea2} with [ instead of {
Here's a random video...
http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/19817[/url (http://http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/19817)]
What you need to do is go to the embed HTML code EA gives you by clicking on the "Share" button. You'll get this mess...

The part you are looking for is ...
http://easw.easports.com:8096/media2/ncaa09/8410/882A0001_3_FLV_VIDEO_ifm.flv
...or anything that looks like a URL to a .flv file. That is the link to the physical video.
Then you put that in ea2 brackets ...
{ea2}http://easw.easports.com:8096/media2/ncaa09/8410/882A0001_3_FLV_VIDEO_ifm.flv{/ea2}
and voila ...

Embedding from Your Own Webspace
As you know, EA Sports World allows only a handful of your videos up at once. After you upload too many you lose old ones. However, you're given the option to save your video directly from the video's webpage using the "Download this video" link.

FIREFOX USERS!! - If you're using FireFox, after you click on the "Download" link, don't left-click the "I Accept" link on the EA EULA popup. It'll attempt to play the file instead of saving it. Instead right-click on "I Accept" and choose "Save Link As..." This will save the file instead of play it.
If you're lucky enough to have your own place to host video files you can upload the video there and still use the {ea2} code to embed the video but obviously without the too-many-videos limitations. You can rename the file as you wish as well...
To do this simply put the URL to your video in the {ea2} tags and you're all set.
If you have any questions ask them in this thread.
Enjoy!!

I just quoted the guy on that link, but the video didn't post like it did on their site. If one of the CPU gurus could help, that'd be sweet. :)

we should be able to make it work.... i will have to look at modifying our existing auto media tagging system.

:gig:

I'd hate to lose this SWEET return by Money Mike against Oregon at Oregon...

[Pumchavas28]

Any word??? :)

[jagowar]

you gotta give me more than a day to get it all figured out... and fyi im going to wait for our media system to get updated. the guy who writes it already has easportsworld working. just waiting on the next release.

[Pumchavas28]

woulda looked better had the camera view been behind the player so we could see the pathetic coverage


dangit, im going to have to get xbox live just to get on and woop yall aren't i....one more thing to add to the errand list today:bored:

[jagowar]

the implementation is a bit nasty still but there is a preliminary working version.... just doesnt render the video the right way yet. and does not auto parse the url.

edit.... im transitioning to the "new" look of the media system for now. it doesnt have the same render window problems as the old version with these ncaa videos. just wish it had a thumbnail so you could see what the video is.

[WesTxAg]

looks good, tho

[texags08]

I like the media deal, i get to watch the videos at work...

[Pumchavas28]

What are the steps to using this...

And quick question... But can we plug these videos into our Profile????

But for Threads.. What's are the steps to plugging em in? Do we just copy & paste the link from the "SHARE" portion of EA Sports World???

[jagowar]

you just gotta link to the flv file (for now). it will eventually work like the rest of our videos where you just paste the address bar link and it will do the rest but its not officially setup yet in our system.

[Pumchavas28]

Dumb Question, but......... what is the flv file????

[jagowar]

go look at your first post... ;) (but its basically the flash file)
