you can request one more extra field param by API

$pageid = "YOURPAGENAME";

$facebook->api("/" . $pageid . "/feed?fields=location&locale=en_GB&fields=type,message,id,story,link,created_time,attachments,source,name,picture,object_id,place&limit=20");

source => will return url mp4 video post

And make sure you will see the type in attachment array,

[type] => video_inline / video_share_youtube

you will get both type of video url like:

https://video.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t42.1790-2/xxxxxxx8431328184267440128_n.mp4

You need to use the endpoint

/{video_id}

instead of

/video/{video_id}

This is clearly stated in the docs at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.1/video/

You code needs to be

function getVideo(id) {
    FB.api("/"+id, function (response) {
        if (response && !response.error) {
            alert(response);
        }
    });
}
