Question

i want to make this code for pages

function meta_box_video()
{
    add_meta_box( \'video-meta-box-id\',         


        

Answer 1

This:

function meta_box_video()
{
    add_meta_box( 'video-meta-box-id', 'Video Embed', 'meta_box_callback', 'post', 'normal', 'high' );
}

Should specify page not post.

function meta_box_video()
{                                      // --- Parameters: ---
    add_meta_box( 'video-meta-box-id', // ID attribute of metabox
                  'Video Embed',       // Title of metabox visible to user
                  'meta_box_callback', // Function that prints box in wp-admin
                  'page',              // Show box for posts, pages, custom, etc.
                  'normal',            // Where on the page to show the box
                  'high' );            // Priority of box in display order
}

Take a look at the Codex for add_meta_box(). The examples are very helpful. The portion you are interested in is under "Parameter". The fourth parameter allows you to specify whether you want the metabox on pages, posts, etc.
