Youtube Format IDs

Pre-Note: I'm not perfect by any means, but I just wanted to organize this on my own and I'm trying to do it right. I've eliminated most useless outdated info and tried to correct many errors on descriptions. :>

Note: This is all almost full YouTube ID informations. Original owner goes to AgentOak, and thanks for most updates to Martin Eesmaa and the incredible internet community. :>

See the credits and also special thanks in below.
