Here's the problem:

I would like to keep lots of home made videos full of memories. Unfortunately, they are subject to being lost, stolen, or destroyed by water and fire.

Secondly, I have to plug in my external hard drive every time I want to watch something, which I find cumbersome so that I don't do watch the videos out of laziness, which makes it in effect, useless.

I was thinking that perhaps I could upload the videos to Youtube with the privacy set to invite only and then delete the video from the hard drive automatically. How could I do this? Will someone please make a script that does this?

Youtube has an API of which you can utilize to upload videos here: Developer's Guide: Data API Protocol - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

The script may require a lot of knowledge of the protocol unless you are willing to look into it yourself, I do not think somebody would write it for you.

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.
