      Some codecs need special input. You'll find those instructions here.
      • Slideshare:
        You need to construct your own URL, using the "Wordpress Embed" code from Slideshare, extract the "id" and "doc" parts, and form the URL like this: slideshare.net/?id=1759622&doc=usingdrupal-090723103440-phpapp01.
      • Picasa Slideshows:
        You must use the URL of the RSS feed for the Picasa album:
        1. View the album in Picasa (you should see thumbnails, not a slideshow).
        2. Find the "RSS" link and click it.
        3. Copy the resulting URL from the browser address bar. Example:
          [video: http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/USER_NAME/albumid/5568104935784209834?alt=rss&kind=photo&hl=en_US]
