I've been looking around and I haven't seen anything like this, maybe I missed it, so if I did please let me know.

I'm looking for a video gallery style module which allows members to submit videos they already have hosted on sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Both those sites allow people to embed videos elsewhere and it seems to me that rather then going through all the hassle of storing and transcoding videos on your own site, there would be a module that would allow members to submit videos hosted on those video sites and then just display all the submitted videos on your site in a nice fashion.

The benefits of this would be as follows:

1. You don't need to worry about storing videos.
2. You don't need to worry about transcoding videos.
3. Sometimes people don't want to go through the hassle of uploading their videos to a small (less popular) website when they're already on youtube and can get more traffic there.
4. In regards to #3, this is just an easy text entry for members to add their videos (already hosted on YouTube) to your site for more exposure.

I'm thinking the fields this module would need the user to fill out would be: title, length, tags, category and either the youtube url or embed code.
I would then assume the module would keep track of the number of views, comments and possibly even thumbs up and thumbs down member ratings and be able to use that info for displaying the videos by newest, most popular and most viewed as well as being searchable and categorized.

Let me know what you think or if there is already a module like this out there.
