// Youtube Thumbnail URL
http://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/default.jpg

// Google Video Feed URL

// Snippet :

$match = array(); 
preg_match("/media:thumbnail url="([^"]S*)"/siU",$XML_SOURCE,$match); echo $match[1][0];

// To retrieve the first google video ID from html:

$match = array(); preg_match("/http:\/\/video.google.com\/googleplayer\.swf\?docid=([^"][a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)[&"]/siU",$HTML_SOURCE,$match); echo $match[1];

// To retrieve the first youtube video ID from html:

$match = array();
preg_match("/http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/([^"][a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)[&"]/siU",$HTML_SOURCE,$match); 
echo $match[1];
