Use the JetPack plug-in, it provides most of the embedded shortcodes that you normally use in WordPress.com

Search RegEx is a good plugin to be able to search and replace with Grep through all posts and pages. With that, you can change your shortcodes to the default Embeds « WordPress Codex that self-hosted Wordpress uses, which in its simplest form is just the URL.

Or use WordPress › Viper's Video Quicktags « WordPress Plugins and search/replace to convert to that form of shortcode.

And wordpress.stackexchange.com/ is a better place for Wordpress questions.

For youTube, you should go back to the video on YouTube.com and grab the embed code.

What other objects do you need to embed?
