yeah, you just want the "Video ID" which is the part after v= and before any & signs that follow it.

These values in a URL are called query string values, and each one is a variable (in this case v) and what it's set equal to (in the failed one 2 posts up that would be FLQOPi42dIbvwNus1oTIR8mQ i guess (though i've never seen one that long from youtube). The failed one also had ANOTHER variable, "index", which you also included... which is why it didn't work. The & sign is how you link together multiple variables in a query string.
