I'm pretty sure you can't link to youtube videos. All links are supposed to be download links, not streaming... At least I think that's how it works still...

you are not supposed to upload amvs to utube according to their TOS.

This site endorses that by not allowing you to link to utube videos.

so is it right that i can´t use y.o.u.tube links?
how can i use my account with links, or must i upload my videos to your server?

we recommend you upload here, since that IS what this site is about.

Alternatively you can upload to a site that will host videos for download, not streaming.
