Embedding MSN videos was created by sthrudel
I noticed AllVideos plugin doesn't support embedding of MSN videos [1]. This is something that can be added in the next release.

I also noticed that the page doesn't get validated by W3C standard if you embed the video using the embed link included in video options of the MSN video (due to embed tag obviously). I experimented a little and was able to come up with the solution.

This is the embed code provided by MSN video (video options -> embed):
<embed src="http://images.video.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf" width="432" height="364" id="sbli1if5" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" 
allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" 
pluginspage="http://macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" 
flashvars="c=v&v=fcc409a0-a8b0-4243-83b2-ff4a5eb3a86e&ifs=true&fr=shared&mkt=en-US">
</embed>
<noembed>
<a href="http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-US&playlist=videoByUuids:uuids:fcc409a0-a8b0-4243-83b2-ff4a5eb3a86e&showPlaylist=true&from=shared" 
target="_new" title="Pastichon">Video: Pastichon</a>
</noembed> 

And here's what I did. Thing to note is the link to the swf player and flashvars parameter. Of course &s must be replaced with &amp;s in the value of the flashvars parameter.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://images.video.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf" width="432" height="364">
<param name="movie" value="http://images.video.msn.com/flash/soapbox1_1.swf" />
<param name="BGCOLOR" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="flashvars" value="c=v&amp;v=fcc409a0-a8b0-4243-83b2-ff4a5eb3a86e&amp;ifs=true&amp;fr=shared&amp;mkt=en-US" />
