tiggertail – This means that you have a bad plugin or virus on your computer that is truncating the URLs, a bad plugin is more likely than a virus.
Generally people will say “But I can watch Youtube videos” and I have to go on to explain:
“Our video URLs are longer than sites like Youtube because we’ve got several levels of security to make it harder for people to steal the videos than it is on Youtube or other sites.”
Most people have success turning off plugins in their browser until they find the one that caused the problem, sometimes its easier to just switch browsers for people that already have multiple browsers on their computer.

And i guess that the fact that i can see my own video here is because they have less protection or something like that?

Rest assured everyones videos receive the same security treatment.
It can be a couple things. The URLS are a bit shorter when you view your own videos. They URLs may be cached in your browser. It may be that whatever is causing the problem is only hacking off one or two characters and your user_id hashes out a couple characters shorter than everyone else’s.
Don’t worry that yours aren’t protected, they are. All you need to know is that when you have a problem with your browser the results can be unpredictable.
