Re: programming, do what you like. Any program that has squats and deadlifts in it is far better than most people's routines.
Re: squat video, the biggest problem I see is that your back isn't rigid, you are hyperextending in the middle and flexing at the bottom. Looking at yourself in the mirror might be causing this -- pick a spot on the floor 5' in front of you and look at that. Look down, tight abs, knees out to get better depth.
Your squat would be a lot easier to see if you make your video from hip or shoulder level, instead of from the floor.
Re: deadlifts, try wearing sweatpants that cover your legs and/or knee-high socks and really keep the bar against your legs. Might help.
