Howto get the RTSP streaming URL of a YouTube Video

THIS SOLUTION DOES NO LONGER WORK!

You can get low quality streaming URLs of a YouTube video by parsing:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/VIDEO_ID

e.g.:

One or more tags named “<media:content” with the attribute “type=’video/3gpp'” will contain an URL for a RTSP stream of the video.

Just try it. You will notice though that all streams offered are low-res. High-res streams are only available to mobile clients.
