Is it possible to create some sort of widget/control which is similar to a youtube video player which I will be able to control in powerpoint. I have worked with the javascript youtube player and I really need to be able to do the same in powerpoint.
I'm not quite sure if I understand your question, but if you want a controllable YouTube player in PowerPoint, this might work:
Create a website with a player and the controls you like and embed the whole website into your presentation using the method described in this tutorial.
However, I don't know if the solution will be interactive or if it's just a freeze-frame since I haven't tried myself.

YouTube supports interactive-transcripts, using both machine-generated and user-uploaded transcripts. This is very useful for hearings, lectures, speeches, and educational videos where a visitor might want to read along or jump around. For example in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY3U2GXhz44
The visitor can click on "...More" and then "Transcript" to view the interactive-transcript.
How does a video owner make that hidden feature automatically open for visitors? I cannot find any documented method for doing that through the API for either embed or linked videos. Is there an undocumented method in the API, or a URL parameter like "&action-panel-transcript=true" that works the way I'd expect it to?
As for url parameter, you can try adding &cc_load_policy=1 behind the rel=0 if it's an embedded video or &yt:cc=on at the end of the url if it's a link to the video.

I would like to know if there is anyway I can set the first three videos to be shown as recommended videos for a particular video feed using youtube api.
That's not something that you can control using the YouTube API. There are no plans that I'm aware of to add in that functionality.
I test with browser with the link I get from "http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=xx" to see if it is be able to download.
After remove some parameters from original link, some works but some still don't.
I read some post here but most of are pretty old. A lot of change since then.
I wonder if there are somebody working on this recently.
The purpose I need this is because my youtube view program need a better quality video to display.
This is link doesn't work:

What wrong with it? I removed fallback_path and replace sig with signature.
The working link is for webm. This is for h264. Both have the same kind of parameters.
And this is working now.

That's not a supported method of interacting with YouTube. You need to use one of the official YouTube Player mechanisms to display YouTube videos.
Please familiarize yourself with the YouTube API Terms of Service if you have any more questions.
I have a list of youtube video links on a page. I want to let user mark interesting ones, programatically add them to a watching queue, and then forward a user to YouTube where they can watch all those videos in sequence. Is it possible?
I dont think youtube has a feature to access yt quicklist etc, but you can easily do it with youtube javascript api, if is it ok that the videos gonna be played inside your site.
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/js_api_reference.html
Embed a youtube player with js api in your site, then you can make a simple js array for queue.
If this solution is ok for you, i gonna write some more details about it, if you're interested in.
I am not sure , But is there any way to use YouTube video player for playing .flv file , which are stored in my own server.
any idea ?
I don't think so, you can only use it to play content hosted on their site, but there are plenty of other flash players around. Flowplayer is a common one, and there are loads more if you Google.
No.
You would have to upload the files to Youtube to use their player (which you can embed)
How ever there are many Youtube-like players (which will play .flv files on your own server), for example:
flvplayer
FPlayer
BitGravity
JW FLV Player
Flowplayer
Not that I'm aware of, but there are other options available that are very very similar.
Check out the JW Player here
I don't think so.
If you don't mind targetting just cutting-edge browsers though, you could make use of the HTML5 <video> tags:
<video src="path/to/your/video">Your browser doesn't support this.</video>
I know the beta versions of FF3.5 support this, but it is a new feature that's not widely supported yet.
Otherwise, use something like FlowPlayer as suggested in other responses.
Why not just upload the video to YouTube and embed the player?
