Protocol-less URLs don't work without a web server, so in that case just add http: in front of the URL.

The main caveat to keep in mind when using the protocol-less reference is that it will fail on pages loaded via file:/// (i.e. HTML pages you load directly from disk to your browser). So, do be sure to include the http: protocol in the URL if you happen to be developing without a web server at all, but don’t worry about omitting it otherwise.

I had the same problem. Look at the URL in the <param name="movie"... & <embed src=//www.youtube.com.... Notice there is no HTTP: If you add HTTP: in front of the // it will work.
