It says it only works with squid version 2.7. Are you using v2.7?

May be youtube sending some sort of headers which squid can not use.

There is a software on this side: Cache Videos | Videocache
But they charge for this software, If this software can cache youtube then how is it possible that youtube is sending headers which cannot be cached??

They are downloading actual .flv file from other service provider and storing it on your local server. To see headers use
Code:
curl -I 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM8Wg8hCTG4' Code:
Cache-Control: no-cache

The software you mentioned is downloading file to local server. Yes, you can save it programming like python or perl or php. You can also use firefox extension to do the same. But this will not useful for browsing cached file for end users when they go to youtube. What are you trying to build here? If local cache with squid - it is not possible since they Youtube is using CDN to send file to clients.
