What is the difference between the video ID and the URL?

What is the difference between the video ID and the URL?

Darryl,
In the url 'youtube.com/watch?v=O7EcT5YzKhQ&feature=relmfu' (I've removed 'http://www.' so that the forum software won't truncate the address) there are two url variables; 'v' and 'feature'. The video id is the 'v' value, in this case 'O7EcT5YzKhQ'. Where you see an ampersand '&' starts another url variable named 'feature', and you can stop copying right before the '&'.

That's what I needed to know! Thanks!

I just tried this on my post above (changed from a URL link to imbedding the youtube video) and it worked great! Thanks Darren.
