Anyone know how to add a embedded youtube video below the detailed images for a particular product?

need more info to answer. depends on what skin your using.
a quick easy fix would be to include your video HTML embed tag in the products full description.

I'm trying to place it right below the detailed images. Here is a link to the page http://www.raceoptics.com/xcart/EVO-HD-Camera-System.html

did you try extra fields with HTML content?

no, how would I do this?

like am2003 said. add your video embed html link in an extra field in product management. then edit productdetail.tpl move the {extrafield} under the image.

** productdetail.tpl file name and {field} not exact. you will need to check using webmaster mode.

please read the user manual before. now, start using extra fields. create one and now modify the product, bellow the page you will see the extra fields you created (e.g. video). put you html in there (I know the input text is not giving you the change to see whole text - I've made request to QT to be able to have WYSIWYG in Extra Fields and wider input boxes).

reload your frontend using webmaster mode. you will see the video appearing in a position. change the product TPL to put that extra field in the right position. if you have more than one field, you can use the one you need, base on the declaration of that field (in admin).

extra fields is a powerful feature. but it is global, hope to see extra fields for every product in the next XC versions, as much as we would like to add for it. some global, some particular to a product.

yeah see, I tried this following another tutorial a guy had on adding video. But in the input field it doesn't put in the entire html for the video. It doesn't show up on the page and when I view the source on the page it shows half the html cut off. Is the input field just to small and won't allow all the code?

you have to increase the size of the extra filed input text. I will come back to you on Monday, I don't have xc installed here.
