Validate a youtube url including the shortened version with javascript

Question

I need to validate a youtube video URL with javascript/jquery that works for all types of youtube video url's including the shortened youtu.be version. There are a wealth of examples on how to do this regex but they all fail to include the shortened version. Any ideas?

maybe you didn't read my question and compare it to your link. — Pollux Khafra

The only supported way of validating YouTube watch page URLs (including youtu.be URLs) is using oEmbed: http://apiblog.youtube.com/2009/10/oembed-support.html
