I made a dozen different atempt to upload my instructional video to youtube on several different days at different times. On every single occasion youtube would upload the video and then give me the same error message. Nothing made a difference. I am green with envy of the people who actually succeeded with their uploads, especially as I and Michael made a very nice video in which I followed him around the Learning Centre while he demonstrated the art of shelving books. My empty channel with no videos uploaded can be found here:

Despite this, there are a lot of gems on youtube, such as the Library of Congress' youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/LibraryOfCongress. This is a real find for library students, since it doesn't just contain loads of digital media from the LoC's archives but also plenty of instructional videos, including one about the preservation of digital media (http://www.youtube.com/user/LibraryOfCongress#p/a/u/0/qEmmeFFafUs) and video of speakers at the 2009 National Book Festival. Individual videos all come with useful notes explaining their source and context. There is, obviously, a bias towards American history in the material but that doesn't change the historical importance of events such as Roosevelt's inauguration and there's no denying the authority of the source. I recommend this youtube channel and its videos to any Library worker, student of history or lover of books.

Thank you for finding this channel of vidoes through YouTube. I agree that some of the videos on the Library of Congress channel are excellent - liked the digital preservation one.
