This is a normal post How to fix
You're giving a l-o-n-g URL and it's not necessary because most of the crap is internal tracking.

First part: "www.youtube.com/"
So far, so good.

Then there's either "v/" or "watch?v=" and then a string of 11 characters. Everything after those 11 characters starting with the ampersand ("&") can be removed, thusly:
"www.youtube.com/v/ZUQ5k6gBG2c"


That's all you need to watch a vid or embed. The stuff like "%3D" comes from URL encoding which uses escape codes for non-alphanumerics like symbols and so on. Apparently the b3ta parser doesn't like that.
