type:id:textbefore:textafter;
type:id:textbefore:textafter;
…

The list of video type you can use :

youtube, dailymotion, google, flv, vimeo, flickr, metacafe, liveleak, revver, ifilm, myspace, bliptv, collegehumor, videojug, godtube, veoh, break, movieweb, jaycut, myvideo, clipfish, viddler, gametrailers, snotr, taratata, quicktime, windowsmedia
