I can't say if it's Youtube not supporting the old flash format or if my browser got updated and decided it didn't want to show them. Niether IE or Chrome seem to work anymore.

Did you change anything here?
You really need to figure out how to do iframes, because the object embedding was deprecated more than a year and a half ago and will eventually go away.
No, I didn't change a thing. I suspect it is and was a Youtube issue with flash files because they're going all HTML5. Though my Chrome browser got updated about the same time this happened and idiots at Google took away the backspace for returning to the previous page or I wouldn't have noticed the change.
iframes are nasty because anyone can stick in any malicious code into one. We already don't allow iframes, so I have to strip that call out and then parse it which gets complicated. The safer solution is to add a Youtube Link URL and then just add embed to the post. Allowing more than one video in a post then gets more complicated and probably not worth the effort.

See my comments in Support & Feedback. You need to allow users to simply post the URL of the YouTube page, then render it as the YouTube iframe. YOU put the iframe code onto the page. You can still disallow iframes.
Whether your static pages will make that a challenge is anyone's guess. You might need to go back and forth when allowing editing. I don't know how you do that, but I wouldn't wish such a system on my worst enemy.
Auto updates bad!

Possibly. HTML5 is not the issue really, Youtube does that automatically via their current embed code using the iframe tag which allows them to put basically any code they want in the iframe section. Our issue is that allowing iframe tags would be an obvious security issue as anyone could put any code in that section.
I'm thinking that the easiest and most effective method might be to add an input for an Optional Youtube Link and then I could reformat that link to replicate their embed code.
