On your youtube video look for share and then get the embed code. Copy and paste that into your post but change the post box from "visual" to "text" on the right side. Then you can paste in the html code you got from the youtube. Save your post and the video will show.
Thanks. still doesnt seem to be working but i will retry later after i have some sleep and a fresh set of eyes. appreciated.

Use the TubePress Plugin for a nice little YT gallery

I'm trying to embed videos manually (unfortunately all the videos I want to post in my blog are not among the easy-to-embed ones that you've listed) but it doesn't work.
If I copy and paste the link in the HTML page, it doesn't do anything in the VISUAL page. What am I doing wrong? I'm downloading these videos and uploading them on my dailymotion page to avoid this problem but it's time consuming and I really would like to just embed.Any ideas?

If you mean when you paste the link into your HTML tab and then switching to the Visual tab but aren't seeing the video that doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. It won't show anything but a box where the video will be. Once you publish the page you'll be able to see it on your live site. Also if you click the preview button you'll see it there.
Firstly, you have to grab the embed code. It is easy to grab the code on YouTube and other video sharing sites by display videos that often called the "embed code". Let copy that embed code to your clipboard.
Then post the code into your WordPress blog post. You should note where you'd like the video to be placed while looking at the Visual editor. After click on the HTML tab in the upper right hand coner so that you can view the HTML code.

Embed codes get mashed up pretty terribly by wordpress.
If you post into HTML. once you switch to visual prepare to have that embed code get totally murdered.
If you don't care to much about size and position, You can actually copy-paste any youtube URL straight into a post. WP will automatically turn it into a video.
If you want more control, you must use a plugin that supports youtube shortcodes.
Don't use embeds... Won't work well with the WP post editor.
