YouTube Download Issue

    I have a php script located here. http://tomgraineysboise.com/index1.php

    Youtube I think has changed something that allows only the IP address that views the page to download that video. So those urls that its returning work just fine if I download them from the server. But for an end user those urls do not work to download. Does anyone know of an idea or a work around that I can do to allow this script to let the end user download these videos?

    Copy videos to your server and then let users download them off your server.

    That will use so much bandwidth. There has to be a better way. This new youtube change didn't seem to stop www.keepvid.com from doing it. I am sure that the sever isn't downloading them and then re uploading them to the user.
