I would like to know if there is any possibility  to hide the youtube URL and/or the http alternative video link in a video element.

Thanks
Paco.

Why would you want to? This sounds like a bad idea. However, doing this would be illegal. From the Youtube terms of service: 

  1. If you use the Embeddable Player on your website, you may not modify, build upon, or block any portion or functionality of the Embeddable Player, including but not limited to links back to the YouTube website.

Er, correction: most likely illegal. 

(I am not a lawyer, and the interpretation of ToS is actually rather complex, and depends on your jurisdiction)
