Yes,youtube Api can help you,follow this link: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol#Saving_and_collecting_videos
But I'm not sure it need user authorization or not.
Sorry,wrong link,follow this: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol#Retrieving_subscriptions
the api just like
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/userId/subscriptions?v=2
You can get a user's subscriptions,then you can check your channel is in it or not. This request does not require authentication.

Are you sure we can check if the user subscribed or not with the above API. Please elaborate more. Thanks – Jasminder Pal Singh Jul 01 '12 at 10:35

The problem now is how you would get the yt username of a visitor. that will require authentication. or maybe you can use his/her gmail address – Arvin Jul 01 '12 at 18:28
