I tried lightbox-plus, fancybox, etc...

But I couldn't figure how to do it.

Those videos are images posts with a link containing a Youtube video:

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUN826BdvV4">
<img class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-40" 
title="Screenshot" src="http://localhost/custom-post-type/
wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Screenshot2-150x150.png" 
alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>

Fancybox for Wordpress, for example, let me add a lightbox to images, but if the image links to a Youtube video it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?
