 * Normally you get this if some php statement misses a semicolon.
 * Don’t know how adding a video could mess up your php.

 * What version of WordPress are you running?
 * line 995 of my taxonomy.php (2.8.4) shows a function called wp_count_terms, which
   doesn’t do any spectacular actions. Could it be that you’re having some quotes
   or semicolons in descriptions (categories or links for instances) or tags?
