Yes, it's just like this, when I activate the Smart Youtube plugin it converts all the dashes "-" in the text of my posts to double dashes "–".
I deactivated all other plugins, changed the theme to a modern one (Twenty Ten Weaver), and it looks that exactly Smart Youtube is causing the problem. I also played around with the options in the plugin settings, but the problem persists.
This is really strange to me. But I cannot drop off using the plugin, it's essential for my blog. Here's the URL:
I'm having a problem now where Smart YouTube is converting double dashes to single dashes, thus breaking a YouTube URL that has double dashes in it (wish YouTube wouldn't do stupid stuff like that).
What happened, Vladimir, did you revert back to the previous code, because now Smart Youtube started again to convert single dashes to double dashes :(
Hi again. Reporting on the new 4.0 PRO version. It's great, thanks for the new functionality, especially the new parsing options!
But the double dash bug is still here. What happened to user "whipd" hack from above? I saw it implemented in some previous versions, but now it's not again.

My blog is in Bulgarian which means it uses the cyrilic alphabet and UTF-8 encoding. If any of that helps…

In smartyoutube.class.php, line 397 I changed
$replacements = array("x", "–");
to:
$replacements = array("x", "-");
It would be great if this bug was fixed up on the next release so my hack doesn't get overwritten on the next plugin update.
Cheers.

I think the solution is actually
$replacements = array("x", "–");
