You have to:

  1. Use a MIME type supported by the browser (video/youtube is not a registered MIME type at all).
  2. Provide a URL to a video (http://www.youtube.com/embed/ejjOfl_HRhc is an HTML document).

YouTube probably don't want you hotlinking their video files and likely take steps to prevent it. You should use their official embedding code or host the videos yourself instead.
