Embedded video with an underscore in youtube ID won't work on iPhone

Question

I can get all 5 videos working on my computer's browser, but the fourth video fails on my iPhone (via Safari). http://basenycapp.s3.amazonaws.com/stream.html

I think it's because the youtube id has an underscore in it. For each video, I'm embedding the youtube videos with the following:

<object width="70" height="60"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/asa_LlO6-6E&amp;f=gdata_videos&amp;c=ytapi-my-clientID&amp;d=nGF83uyVrg8eD4rfEkk22mDOl3qUImVMV6ramM"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/asa_LlO6-6E&amp;f=gdata_videos&amp;c=ytapi-my-clientID&amp;d=nGF83uyVrg8eD4rfEkk22mDOl3qUImVMV6ramM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="70" height="60"></embed></object>

If I use the above method, any videos with underscores in the Youtube ID will fail. (Above, the id is: asa_LlO6-6E ). Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Thank you in advance.

I havent tested it, but try and use a hex encoding (%5f) of the underscore instead. Makes no sense though as underscores are valid in URL's and you would expect Google/Apple to get that right
