Original:

<object width=”425” height=”344“><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&hl=en“></param><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&hl=en” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>

Valid:

<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&” width=”320” height=”267“><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/nrlSkU0TFLs&” /><param name=”FlashVars” value=”playerMode=embedded” /><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” /></object>

Code from this excellent post.
