One thing to keep in mind though is that you REALLY do NOT want to allow others to post unfiltered html on your blogs. Seriously consider plugin management to only allow trusted admins this ability.
We've had a couple bugs that allow users to gain site admin status. Even with a "restricted to only site admin" filter, I'm still iffy on allowing something like that.
Takes two seconds normally to write up a shortcode filter plugin to allow what you;re trying to do.
Takes eons to fix a database wipe or other hack.

Do remember though that if you allow your endusers to have unfiltered access, you could have security problems.

The "XHTML Video embed" plugin works pretty well too. It can also be used to post photobucket galleries.

The link for that one is here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xhtml-video-embed/
We use this one on our installs: http://www.daburna.de/blog/2006/12/13/wordpress-video-plugin/
We've added a bunch to it though.
I think, like James, though that the poster is asking about using embed codes directly and not shortcodes.

In my experience, the easiest one by far is:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-youtube/
All you have to do is add a "v" like: "httpv://" in the url and its embedded.

That's only for Youtube I believe. The original poster is looking for a more complete solution. Thanks though.
