I embedded youtube video in my app, like it is show on many tutorials

NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\
                        <html><head>\
                        <style type=\"text/css\">\
                        body {\
                        background-color: transparent;\
                        color: white;\
                        }\
                        </style>\
                        </head><body style=\"margin:0\">\
                        <embed src=\"%@\"\
                        type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"180\" height=\"140\"></embed>\
                        </body></html>", videoLink]; 

[webView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil];

Why I can play video like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMueitNN8HI
and not like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsFV1A8l5e4 ?

In the second case it shows a webview with button play crossed out like this

Where is the problem?
Thanks

    This is because the owner of the account that uploaded the second video chose not to make the video mobile compatible. Here is a screenshot of your second video open on my computer with the browsers user agent set to iPhone.
