Legality of embedding YouTube videos?

I've done loads of googling trying to find an answer to this
question....so advice, experience would be appreciated.

I downloaded a software application last week and among other things,
it churns out the code for emedding youtube videos into a web page,
using a freeware flv movie player and NOT the one youtube usually
supplies to webmasters.

It's a cool feature which I would really like to use, but I am
uncertain as to how legal doing this may be?

Does anyone know anything about this?

YouTube has certainly addressed this topic thoroughly on their website.

Of course, if someone uploaded something illegally to YouTube in the
first place, then it would be just as illegal for you to display it on
your site.

I want to make a simple app to overlay subtitles on youtube videos. Is there a way to do this and keep the files hosted on youtubes servers (eg just overlay the text with another flash app)? I have researched simple FLV players as a way to overlay text, but so far it seems youtube is being very hard at making the direct URL to the FLV very hard to obtain.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
