Youtube uses Flash and WebM videos, the latter being HTML5 friendly.
If you want to embed them using the HTML5 media feature, you would
need to know the location of the actual .webm file somewhere on the
youtube (or third party) servers. I assume the URL is obfuscated and
maybe created dynamically, but I don't know.

I guess it would be easier to use the "embed video" code youtube is
offering. It won't work with the HTML5 media feature thought, you
would have to get the code into the Koha detail view yourself.
