You Tube Video over SSL

Is it possible to embed You Tube video on an SSL (https://) Web site without getting a security alert popup?

I'm wondering if anyone has experience using the APIs and whether they accomodate this.  And, I've seen reference to methods of proxying though I'm not sure I understand how they work.

We've tested users being able to embed You Tube content into a secure https page, but they get an alert when the embedded video player begins to load from You Tube.

We had not considered hosting the content ourselves.  The problem is that this is a Web site where users generate their own content in forums.  Unfortunately, the user-generated content transfers over a secure connection (https).  YouTube is perfect for this type of application, but it won't work for us if it doesn't go over SSL.  Looks like we might be out of luck.  I may contact YouTube to see what, exactly, the T&C allow for.
