It's still wrong as an user could change their email and then you'd need to change the videos table too.

Well, since I have such a small site I think I will be okay lol, but I want my users to have their own profile, only so they can see what videos they have uploaded, I have been looking into URL rewriting, do you know anyhting about this?

I want when my users login to be able to click profile or account and be able to see all the videos which they uploaded.

You can do this via session user_id. Or if you want it to be accessible to bots for SEO / indexing, you can use a rewrite, something like:
www.example.com/profile/blax/
Rewritten from something like:
www.example.com/profile.php?username=blax
or
www.example.com/index.php?page=profile&username=blax
A mixture of both approaches will allow anybody to view anybody else's profile. But a matching session user_id will allow that user to edit his own page (e.g. show edit form).
