Does It Violate AdSense TOS?

Just curious if anyone knows if this situation would violate AdSense TOS:

You use a YouTube video, not your own, and embed it in the content on your page. You then use code to place a 3rd party ad into the video to play before the YouTube video plays once the viewer clicks on the video.

Something tells me this is most likely violating the YouTube TOS for embedding videos as the code would be altered. Not sure if it would violate AdSense TOS if you have AdSense ads on that page?

If nothing else I would think it'd be pretty annoying cause the viewer would first have to view the ad you inserted then they'd get hot with the ad that appears from Google several seconds into the video.

100% yes. adsense can not be set to load pages like that.
