Question

I have a rails app that I am looking into implementing videos. I know how embed the videos etc but I am confuse on how to do something like this.

I would like a user to have videos. When a users goes to add a video I want to give them the option of embedding a youtube video or a vimeo video(Should I write out if statement?) without having 2 completely different urls.

For example
If user embeded a youtube video url would look like this

mysite.com/videos/1/youtube/1

If a user were to add video it would look like this

mysite.com/videos/1/youtube/new

What I would like to implement is the user would go to video and then have the choice of choosing vimeo or youtube. Ater the user has input the url of the video and click create i would like urls to look like(whether its youtube, vimeo or uploaded from cpu)

mysite.com/videos/1
mysite.com/videos/new

What is the best way to approach this? Would it be nested resources then rewrite the url paths?
