Hey Guys
I don't exactly have a computer head so I was wondering if anyone can answer my question. Is there a way to submit a video directly to Magicians the Gathering without linking to youtube - the reason being I don't want any rough performances on my youtube channel if you know what I mean?

You can make the video a hidden video on youtube so only the people with a link will be able to see it, then provide us with the link, if that helps.

You can also put the unlisted video (as suggested by Trav) in media tags.. [ m ] link [ /m ] without the spaces. It will show up in a video player on the site, but still wouldn't be visible on YouTube itself. Awesome, isn't it? :D

as Mark have said, there's an unlisted option when you upload your videos, if you look around( when you upload or in the video page itself), there should be a space that says "public", click that and change it to "unlisted" and you're set. other than that... making a new account is also an option

Thanks guys for you patience, I found the unlisted option.

It would be pretty neat if I could figure out how to do it ;). What do you do? Copy/paste the link into the message body, and then...? What are media tags? and what does it mean by wrapping?

Sorry, I thought '[ m ] link [ /m ]' was pretty self-explanatory.

For instance:
[ m ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxB7RC7RocA[ /m ] without the spaces =
