You cannot upload videos to the site, if they are screenshots, you can use www.photobucket.com

photobucket and youtube
For pictures you need to stay on the site, jpegs of signatures and such, you can create an album in your profile and load pictures there. Find albums on the My Account button at the top of the forum. There is a limit to file and pixel size:
Maximum File Size per Picture 97.7 KB
Maximum Picture Dimensions 600 by 600 Pixels
If your pictures are large the album uploader will reduce them. That is why the maps in my dod map stickie are not as sharp as the originals. On the plus side they are available whenever our forum server is up. Pretty much 24 7 365.25 as far as I've seen.
There is also a limit on the total number of pictures that you can store. Once they are in an album editing the picture will let you see the link info that you can copy and paste into your signature or posts.
If you use photobucket or imageshack (free to use) they will provide link information as well. I keep these link addresses in a text file so I can copy and paste them without having to go back to the site. When you want to insert a picture use the insert image button and paste the image link in. It will look like gobbldygook in the file as you edit it but when you post it you will see your picture in the thread. I presume the youtube stuff works the same way.
I store my signature photo in an album because there have been occasions when imageshack decided not to send the info. It also loads the picture into the threads faster from an album because it doesn't have to stray far from the forum server to find them.
I also like a small picture for my signature. I don't like having to scroll through signatures as I browse threads.
Hope this helps.
