Youtube videos could be embedded in a blog or a webpage using the embed code provided by Youtube or by using a direct URL. That is easy but users might disable the option of embedding when they upload their videos. While playing with Youtube source, came across this method of embedding videos even after the disable option in on.
Youtube updated their swf player and this hack no longer works. Hope this post helped them to fix the error.

The only but huge downside of this method is by default auto play is on and I couldn't find a way to turn it off.

<object data="http://www.youtube.com/v/XS088Opj9o0" style="height: 366px; width: 450px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XS088Opj9o0" /></object>
The following is the code used for second video player:
<div id="watch-player" class="flash-player">
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-vflq6Rm_x.swf" width="450" id="movie_player" height="366"
flashvars="video_id=XS088Opj9o0&vq=auto&sffb=True&instream=True&autohide=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="false" bgcolor="#000000">
</div>
The only but huge downside of this method is by default auto play is on and I couldn't find a way to turn it off.
UPDATE: Use the below code to disable auto play in second video player->
<div id="watch-player" class="flash-player">
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-
vflq6Rm_x.swf?video_id=XS088Opj9o0&allowfullscreen=%22false%22&autohide=0&autoplay=%22false%22"
width="450" id="movie_player" height="366" >
</div>
The result is a non embeddable video with auto play disabled as shown below:
