What factors influence video results in Universal Search?

No Pork Pies from Brighton asks:

"What factors influence a video universal result in Google? - I have the same video, one on YouTube with high views, comments and ratings yet the other one with low views and no comments is the one that ranks - why is this?"

Based on this information does it mean that YouTube's embed facility has a negative impact on Universal results?

In the example i gave you the version with the comments and ratings is in YT the other is Daily Motion - because most embed YT it gets less links resulting in the Daily Motion video out ranking it in Universal. If people are hoping to get universal results should they choose other hosting platforms than YT?
