Show only youtube url using regex+php

Question

I have created custom video type widget in wordpress. Where User can add video url by using add media option. Here the issue is if user is adding youtube url along with some text (mixture of texts and urls) then front end showing both texts and videos there. I want to split youtube url from that.

Example :

Eros nisi adipiscing penatibus! Phasellus? A. Dapibus etiam massa! Phasellus lacus, purus tempor! Sagittis, montes rhoncus dolor? Dolor nec, in risus. Augue placerat dis nisi velit enim magnis lorem.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdvEdMMtNMY

Nisi mus ut magnis vel porta dignissim lectus enim et diam tincidunt sagittis parturient turpis aliquet nunc adipiscing dolor parturient? Auctor! Elementum ultricies parturient porttitor urna hac. Massa elementum dis.

result I want :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdvEdMMtNMY (youtube url only)

I know regex is the function for that in php but I dont how to use it.
