Hi ok so when i go to
Moddb.com
to add a video i click on from link then i copy and paste in my YouTube link this
Youtube.com
then it gives me this error
"Your upload request has failed. Please check the URL is correct and links directly to the file you want to upload. Links to webpages or redirects will NOT work. This is the exact error:
The video is not available to download, retrying can sometimes help."
All my other video here are from YouTube so why is not working know?
Can some tell me is this bug?
I need to add video to my profile.

You have to retry a few to many times to see if it's working. May take as many as 3-12 retries though. Also to note, Youtube game videos flagged as vids containing mature/adult content may be not uploadable at all.

Yep that is true but its not game footage. More Portfolio Work.

what other site can i upload to which works with your website?

Anything that has its own server space and supports both raw video file upload and direct URLs to videos (without redirections through pages to vids etc), so to your own server if you have one and then from that server to Mod DB using the direct link - it always worked, and always the 1st time/try (if you typed in the URL correctly that is). There are tons of free web hosting servers out there, you just need to find something that will allow you to upload vids.
