I was just about to make something like this for myself. Thanks for making it! Looking forward to an iPad app.
One quick bit of feedback: I notice when I'm logged in and try to refresh my saved videos (say to refresh to see whether the video I just hit "Watch Later" would appear), the app logs me out. Everything else appears to work great - including leaving the page and coming back to it. Just when I hit refresh. When I log back in, the video appears in my queue like I'd expect it to.
It's probably on your radar, but being able to save TED Talk videos and Mixergy interviews would be great.
Thanks! Glad you like it. The iPad app is coming soon, but in the meantime the site should work on your iPad without a problem. Mixergy and TED will definitely be coming soon to the list of supported sites.
As for the error, you might've caught us while we were frantically rebooting. :) But I'll check it out.
I assume you already know about http://embed.ly but are concerned about security, like embedding unknown/untrusted html on your site?
I find your idea great and I have built something similar my self. I focused mostly on the interface and the fact that many times when watching a video you want to be able to switch between videos and make them fullscreen without interrupting their download. For example, when you have a long video on youtube that is split into many parts.
Playlists and ratings for videos is also quite useful in my opinion.
If you want some ideas check it out: http://lideo.me - you don't have to register/signup to start using it. You can do that later.
