The full content (output from the_content()) is something like this: 

<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/0000000" width="900" height="506" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></p>
<p>This is an Test of a tutorial. Bla bla bla</p>

And I would like to get this to: 

<div id="video">
<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/0000000" width="900" height="506" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>

  1. The embed_oembed_html filter runs before an oEmbed resource’s HTML is outputted, so you could hook into this and wrap the output in a div as below. I can’t think of a simple way of wrapping the other content.

    add_filter('embed_oembed_html', 'my_embed_oembed_html', 99, 4);
function my_embed_oembed_html($html, $url, $attr, $post_id) {
  return '<div id="video">' . $html . '</div>';
}

  2. If you are attempting to use oEmbed in your WordPress theme template, try this:

    <aside>
    <p>oEmbed video in template test</p>
    <?php echo apply_filters('the_content', "http://vimeo.com/41205967"); ?>
</aside>

    This snippet will display a video from Vimeo.com directly in your theme, without having to create a post manually.
