sorry - i was on my tablet last night lol - I should have put in both explanations but it's a PITA to type anything lengthy on the tablet.

if you long press right on the video a box should pop up with options within a few seconds (Long press in tablet terms just means hold your finger on something rather than tapping it). It will have an option to copy the URL to the video (Among other things). Then you can long press in the compose window here at DU and a small dialog box will pop up with "Paste" as one of the selections. tap that and you are done.
