Convert YouTube/Vimeo URL to Embed Code

Description	Converts standard video service URLs to their embed-code format; very useful for a "full-screen" that only fills the window. Great for portrait monitor layouts when window fills either top or bottom 50% of the screen. Works with "youtube.com" or "youtu.be" and "vimeo.com" links. Supports YouTube links which contain a start-time.
