How to wrap oEmbed-embedded video in DIV tags inside the_content?

by

I am making a WordPress Theme for a website with video tutorials. I would like to put the video that is embedded in the content (with oEmbed) in a apart div.

An example

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>
</div>
<div id="content">
<p>This is an Test of a tutorial. Bla bla bla</p>
</div>

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>';
}
