Answer 1

I found this from the closure library, might be handy:

/**
 * A youtube regular expression matcher. It matches the VIDEOID of URLs like
 * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID.
 * @type {RegExp}
 * @private
 */
goog.ui.media.YoutubeModel.matcher_ =
    /https?:\/\/(?:[a-zA_Z]{2,3}.)?(?:youtube\.com\/watch\?)((?:[\w\d\-\_\=]+&(?:amp;)?)*v(?:<[A-Z]+>)?=([0-9a-zA-Z\-\_]+))/i;
