This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.
What is this mod?
This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.
Basic Feature Listing:
If you want to donate, I'm all for it... as I'm an unemployed computer programmer...

o <div class="smallfont" style="max-height: 13px; overflow: hidden;">

* BUG FIX: search results now properly call up the videosperpage value.
===========================================================
Version 1.1.1
===========================================================

o BUG: Enabling the SEO slug will inherintly break the Who's Online recognition.
o BUG: The &page= variable in the SEO slug is not properly optimized.
* Added support for videocategory leveling. This is not a sub-category system.
o The level simply implies the indent level of a category.
o This makes it LOOK like categories are sub-categories, when they arent.
* Added support for video listings based on contributor user accounts.
o Clicking on a username will bring a view to all videos by that user.
* Created "video_details_embed" to move embedded videos above the shell.

NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.

Roadmap for the Future:You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman.

Version 1.1.2
===========================================================
* Changed the way the YouTubeHD handles the recognition of high definition urls.
o Simply change the HTTP in your youtube link to HDEF!
o This will signify an HD YouTube video instead of an SD YouTube video.
o Marking an SD only video as HD, will break the video playback.
* Added support for multi-column video listings.
o You can now define a number of columns for your listing pages.
o If you define 1 column, the preview continues to call on video_bit.
o If you define more than 1 column, the preview calls on video_bit_more.
* Added length of preview title; so you can restrict length with ellipses.
* Changed templates to define max overflows for information fields in video bits.
o <div class="smallfont" style="max-height: 13px; overflow: hidden;">
o <div class="smallfont" style="max-height: 52px; overflow: hidden;">
o This guarantees your tables never overflow because of text lengths.

* BUG FIX: search results now properly call up the videosperpage value.

in upload/video.php

o BUG: Enabling the SEO slug will inherintly break the Who's Online recognition.
o BUG: The &page= variable in the SEO slug is not properly optimized.

o Clicking on a username will bring a view to all videos by that user.
* Created "video_details_embed" to move embedded videos above the shell.
