Since this is a custom embed it will only work for gold star members and above.

Just go to the video you want to sift and get the embed code. There should be an URL in the embed code which is the src property of the iframe (src=...). Copy that URL and navigate to it in your browser. You should now see a page with only the MSNBC player on it. Assuming you use FireFox (I do, so I don't know the exact way to do this with a different browser) go to Edit -> Select All in the toolbar (or press CTRL+A) and then right click somewhere on that page and click View Selection Source from the popup menu. You should now see the source of the page including the embed object code (<embed ...>). Copy the embed code and delete the following parts:

swliveconnect="TRUE" play="true" loop="true" bgcolor="#000000"
scale="noborder" salign="tl" mayscript=""

Then take what's left of the embed code and submit it, voilà!

The "select all" is neccessary because just viewing the source would only get you the javascript that eventually produces the embed code.

Alternatively you could use the FireFox plugin Firebug to examine the video player on the blank "player only" page to retrieve the embed code, but that would take just as much time and work.
