Putting a You tube video on a card

I was wondering what is the best way to display a youtube video in your app specifically having a card display a video on it and having multiple cards for each video I want in the app? If anyone has had any luck doing this or could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

I can think of two ways to do this..

1. Grab the MP4 URL from the website and play it in a movie player control
- this will require you to parse the html and download the video file.. you will also need to update your app when YouTube makes changes to their html format

2. Use the embed video feature and create a template HTML page where you can just insert the code for each video and then play the video through a revBrowser control..
