Video embedding is flawed on these forums

TCBlack

I've noticed that when trying to link a video (SWF) format to one of these posts, that it neither respects the settings nor creates valid links. 

For instance the Video in question here should be 682x453 so I'll use those specs but it still doesn't work correctly.

1033.video.swf">http://community.logos.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/31/1033.video.swf:682:453]

Notice:

1. The link ends with a square bracket and is still part of the link, though it shouldn't be. 
2. Clicking the link and then deleting the square bracket results in the message: Bad Request
3. Removing the Colons [:] and the numbers from the end of the link does show the video but the aspect is all wrong, and it sizes to the monitor instead of to the right dimensions.

The question is, can I force an embed tag to work?

It doesn't appear so. The embedded movie should have been above this line.

Pretty sure that .swf isn't one of the allowed inline file types. Those are normally limited to images rather than videos. If it was guaranteed to be just a video that is one thing, but with swf files, we have no idea what it actually is. Could be a video, game, or application -- we just don't know.

And the link would be correct except for the dimensions that are tacked on the end of it. Edit the link and drop those off and it should work.
