So, basically how can I find out if a link is a video or not? Cause youtube doesn't have the normal .avi, .mp4eg, .badmovie extensions. So like how would I do that?
(with PHP)
...then I got some ap, and shot a big ass lazar at everyone.

You can try doing a HTTP HEAD request on the link, and then checking the Content-Type.
Oh well you're trying to check if the link is a page with a video.
In that case you need to search the content for a <embed> or <object> with video-y stuff in it. But really there's no way to be completely sure.
If you're targeting YouTube then the watch?v= thing is fine.
When you post a TouYube on here, the forum code looks for the BifRBx92S9I garbage and then wraps it in some embed code. So everything from links, to page source should work.
So you take that stuff after 'watch?v=,' throw it behind 'youtube.com/v/,' and you're done!

I am on a journey that I hope I will never finish.
