This module adds support for Reuters videos to Embedded Media Field

Once enabled, it allows site editors to paste the Reuters video URLs (e.g. http://www.reuters.com/video/2011/06/13/airbus-view-of-flying-in-the-fut...) or the embed code:

<object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='http://www.reuters.com/resources_v2/flash/video_embed.swf?videoId=215401287' id='rcomVideo_215401287' width='460' height='259'>
  <param name='movie' value='http://www.reuters.com/resources_v2/flash/video_embed.swf?videoId=215401287' />
  <param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'></param> <param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always' />
  <param name='wmode' value='transparent' />
  <embed src='http://www.reuters.com/resources_v2/flash/video_embed.swf?videoId=215401287' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' allowScriptAccess='always' width='460' height='259' wmode='transparent'></embed>
</object>

Note: given the nature of the embeds, the module makes use of the now deprecated Google Web Search API to get the video URL and will fall back to http://reuters.com if it fails.
