Recently, while making some additions to the Music Page, I came across the need to get the location of a YouTube FLV. Unfortunately, most of my googling turned up outdated results that no longer work. Fortunately, unlike a certain other site, it's not impossible. Below is a quick explanation of what I got to work. I'll be assuming that you know how to get your hands on the video ID (the "v" parameter in the query string).

Remember that video I posted the other day? Well, it became an overnight pop sensation being featured on digg, joystiq, engadget. Don't believe me? Well, check here, here and here. Of course, all this press has picked me up a gob of YouTube honors. So I'm famous for my hot looks and my bros are famous for their brains. Yeah, life is sweet. We cool... we da Off Beats

Okay, it's not for my own video, but I did post it (a process that took many, many long hours).

What is this video that has garnered so much attention as to get myself on most favorited and highest ranked lists on YouTube? Well, that "Weird" Al video I posted a link to the other day. So, yeah, go watch it (27 times, now) and rate it some more and before you know it I'll be a billionaire!
