It does some auto-correcting at the moment, but it's limited (no regular expressions, just literals, and it applies to the whole page).
Can I get an example of typical clueless use of the tag?

Is it possible to get the youtube plugin to detect if the string contains a '=' symbol and strip it and everything before it out and after (if applicable with & of course), I think this will solve most of the problems with people using the tags incorrectly all the time (users will never learn -jaded spergin' tech).

Usually people shoving in the full url, or with http:// I have seen, and of course local version of youtube (which you can also strip, the same id's will work on normal youtube).
I was thinking that on submit, say you get something like this:

Added more auto-corrections so both examples work correctly now. Takes some dedication to take the time to strip the http:// yet leave the rest :/
Since I'm limited to full string search and replace, there's not much more that can be done without getting into Hack County. Thanks for the help!

OK np, can you get no return on the position of characters in a string, if so that blows. Glad you got it sorted tho!

Just checked... looks like Toby copypasted the wrong snippet, and put the whole embedding code as ID? The embedded video shouldn't work either, but it seems that Youtube is smart and auto-corrects it.

Late to the party on this, but is it possible to imbed time indexes into the youtube link? Something like:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ebhSWYsHMk#t=2m52s
so that when you open it, it jumps to 2 minutes 52 seconds.
