Description
Try and error during these days, I think the cron_video_upload killed by timeout cause a lot of trouble like the duplicated orphaned video or the node with never linked to the successful uploaded video.
For example:
http://drupal.org/node/455176#comment-1667850
#469226: Form Upload Never Ends or #359114: Upload Reports as Failed, but it actually worked etc.
May I suggest that the Video Upload should have some mechanism in cron_video_upload to avoid the duplicate upload.
Thanks in advance.

When you use poormanscron and activate the "Log poormanscron progress" then you will see the unsuccessfully cron had been killed before the cron_upload_video. However, the upload process is still uploading without control/monitor by cron_upload_video.
