Though I imagine that if this were implemented, self-and-surroundings wouldn't be the only sort of video hosted. Even discounting such uses as unaltered clips of TV/movies that belong to someone else uploaded without permission, there's also things such as putting together fan videos with clips from other video sources telling a new story, computer graphic animation, hand-drawn animation, slideshows with and without narration... all of which can be done with a reasonably fast computer with basic Microsoft this-stuff-is-included software, even though it's not particularly easy without a better program.

If this could be implemented in a manner that doesn't slow down normal services, I think it could be cool.

I understand ScrapBook has its own cluster(s); I imagine that it would be stored in ScrapBook on those servers, and thus any resulting cluster-suck would be limited to there; it oughtn't to be worse for the main servers to serve up than the same number of YouTube embeds. Though it's a moot point that non-ScrapBook items would load fast when you have a friendspageful of stuff that's taking forever because the rest of it has loaded but the server has not coughed up all the videos yet.

I can think of many many drawbacks, especially given the site's falling over a lot as is, but it would be a good mid term plan, especially with privacy options in scrapbook.
Hell, if it could be implemented tomorrow, it might be a sales point good enough to get people using the site again.
