This answer no longer works because YouTube does not showinfo parameter.
You can hide the title bar of the embedded player by adding &showinfo=0 . You cannot completely remove all links to the original video. Here is the best you can do
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/videoid?modestbranding=1&autohide=1&showinfo=0&controls=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This code will remove the title bar, YouTube branding in the controls, controls (optional, delete controls=0 if you need controls). But the video will display a white YouTube logo with a link to the video.
Update 1: here's a new tool I created to create a custom player to insert YouTube code- Advanced Youtube Embed Code Generator
