S3
There was some discussion / code going on here. There was someone hacking on S3 code, so you should talk to them.
I suspect we'll see a filesystem module level S3 plugin at some point.
Other modules for your YouTube clone:
* userreview (reviews as nodes, includes ratings) -- use instead of comments to get better ratings/feedback
* votingapi -- needed for userreview
* views / views_bookmarks: easily make a "my favourite videos" list by allowing video bookmarking; can show lists of most bookmarked videos, etc.; views can be used to build other custom page listings easily as well, including a bookmark for "flag as inappropriate"
* tagadelic -- to help with display of the all important tag cloud
The big thing that is needed is a component or helper module for the video module that talks to server-side FFMpeg script for thumbnailing, etc. Note that the video module supports remote file links, so it could be used as-is to host on Amazon S3...just need an easy way to upload to S3 in the first place and get the URL back.
