Simple Youtube + Htaccess Redirection

Question

website.com/yt/MGEPkLPGB6E

would forward to

youtube.com/watch?v=MGEPkLPGB6E

Answer 1

Something like this in a .htaccess file, or in your Apache's configuration, should do the trick :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^yt/(.*)$   http://youtube.com/watch?v=$1

Of course, this is if the mod_rewrite module is enabled.
