Comment:

 All three of those videos are returning a 401 unauthorized HTTP error
 code.

 http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DuYwwn1qJzBw

 So this is a YouTube issue (or feature, depending on the reason for
 401ing). Point is, if it isn't processed by oEmbed, then we're not being
 given JSON or XML to work with.

 The regex is `#http://(www\.)?youtube.com/watch.*#i`, which would catch
 these videos.

 Also -- the video you originally reported returns JSON for me and works
 for me.
