Create a new text custom field that will be used to enter YouTube video IDs.

Click on [Click here for Advanced Options] and replace the Output Format with this:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{FIELDTEXT}&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/{FIELDTEXT}&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

In the description box you can enter instructions as tooltip to explain users they need to paste YouTube video IDs, not complete video URL, for example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKbEI8pDz0A

The bold part of the URL needs to be entered as the field value when the listing is submitted.
