Finding original location of an embedded video

Somebody school me on how to find the original embedded link on a youtube video like if someone posts it here at the Shroomery how do I independently point someone to the original location of the video? I think coming to the Shroomery might frighten some people.
Hope that made sense.

The embedded link for you tube vids is just the URL, if someone wants to find the original location they can hit "quote" and the URL is revealed.

Yes, but if they are looking at the video off-site of youtube, like here, they just see a box- no URL. Where do I get the link to the original video if I only know the video from having seen it here?

what Omni was trying to say was:
quote this message (you'll see the address when you preview the post)

Ok, thanks guys. I am a rookie at this.
This is what quote spits out..which part of this blob would give me a direct link to the original video?

i likee the easy questions.
click the f*en menu button on the video copy and paste url
or before video starts drag mouse over it and click nothing it should show
for future reference right clicking on items brings up lots of hidden info.

I had already right-clicked on the video and it gave me a blob. Which part is the original URL?

basically - that whole thing is the address
i.e. everything between that first tab: Code:
[flash=600,400]
and the last one: Code:
[/flash]
so in this particular instance: Code:
http://blip.tv/scripts/flash/showplayer.swf?enablejs=true&feedurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftheblimp%2Eblip%2Etv%2Frss&file=http%3A%2F%2Fblip%2Etv%2Frss%2Fflash%2F525805&showplayerpath=http%3A%2F%2Fblip%2Etv%2Fscripts%2Fflash%2Fshowplayer%2Eswf
^^^^^^ that's the address
