With out adding a mod, is there a way to embed vids on a phpbb forum. Tryed, [yt][/yt] and with youtube in [] ??

You can try playing around with <embed>. I know you stated "With out adding a mod"...but there is a phpbb youtube mod out there. It might be less of a headache just to install it.

Are you on phpBB 3 or phpBB 2.x.x?

In phpBB 3 add a BBCode like this:

BBCode Usage:

[youtube]{TEXT}[/youtube]

HTML Replacement:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/{TEXT}" width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/{TEXT}" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
</object>

Example Helpline:

Enter the video ID string -- the video ID string is the part after v= in the URL

Example Usage:

[youtube]YouTube video ID string here[/youtube]

OK how do you install the mod, where exactly does it go?

It's for phpBB 3.0.0 not 2.x.x, make sure you are on 3.0.0

Adding Custom BBCodes in phpBB3 Olympus

Overview

Hello.

This article will explain how to add your own custom BBCodes. phpBB3 Olympus has a powerful new feature that lets you add your very own BBCodes directly from an easy to use admin panel interface -- no MODs or code changes needed! While phpBB has some of the most popular BBCodes included by default, there will still be times when you need to add your own. At the end of this article, there's a list of the most requested BBCodes for easy copying and pasting, but first we'll look at creating a new BBCode so you'll know how to do it.

Usage

To get started, simply go to your ACP (Administration Control Panel) then click on the Posting tab. Next, click on BBCodes on the left. Since you haven't added any custom ones yet, click on the Add a new BBCode button. You will now see 3 text input areas and a checkbox. The BBCode usage box is where you enter the BBCode -- i.e. similar to what users will enter. The HTML replacement text box is where you enter the HTML replacement code. The Help line text box is where you can enter a tip on how to use your new BBCode. Tips are generally displayed when the user rolls his or her mouse over the BBCode button on the posting screen. Finally the Display on posting page option allows you to show or hide the button on the posting screen. Hiding the button does not disable the BBCode -- users can still manually enter the BBCode.

Now let's go over the BBCode usage text field. Here's where you enter your BBCode. It's pretty easy -- all you need to do is add your BBCode and tokens (special uppercase words surrounded by { and } -- think of them as specialised wild cards like when searching Google). The tricky part is determining where to put your tokens and if your tag needs any extra properties/arguments. Let's create a very simple [red] BBCode that makes text red. You would enter:
