Python Beautifulsoup img tag parsing

I am using beautifulsoup to parse all img tags which is present in 'www.youtube.com'

The code is

import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
page = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.youtube.com/')
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
tags=soup.findAll('img')

But am not getting all img tags.The getting img tags are invalid also.

The img tags which i got after parsing is different from the page source img tags. Some attributes are missing.

I need to get all video img tags in youtube.com

Please help

Seems to work when I try it here

import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
page = urllib2.urlopen('http://www.youtube.com/')
soup = BeautifulSoup(page)
tags=soup.findAll('img')
print "\n".join(set(tag['src'] for tag in tags))

Produces this which looks OK to me
