pdflatex, movie15 package, include Youtube URL

[BDW]

Is there a way to include a Youtube video in a pdf using pdflatex with
package movie15? Movie15 cannot recognize the MIME-type of a youtube
video by its own so I set it to 'application/x-shockwave-flash'.

The following code started the buffering process but eventually the
movie could not be loaded ('Movie not loaded...'):

\includemovie[url,mimetype=application/x-shockwave-
flash,playerid=MACR_FlashPlayer]{10cm}{7cm}{http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=kYUpkPTcqPY}

I also tried yt4pdf, but I failed to get it to work with errors in
different sty files..

I believe you should use the media9 package for that. movie15 is now
obsolete and there is an example of an embedded youtube video in the
media9 documentation : http://mirror.neu.edu.cn/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/media9/doc/media9.pdf

I thought a small example of the use of media9 (with a u3d file) could help...

Thanks Alain. This package works fine. One more question: is it possible to automatically mute the sound of the video? I found the options '&setVolume=0', '&volume=0' and '&muted=true' for flashvars which might work, but they don't. Perhaps this option is not available for youtube..

Unfortunately I am not very familiar with the sound options of media9 for video insertion... I mostly used media9 for 3d models insertion, thus without sound.
