Is it possible to have users of my site upload videos from their home computers onto MY youtube account? What does that involve and can someone point me to some relevant examples.

I DONT want to host the videos myself, even temporarily, unless completely unavoidable.These will be short videos though, maybe about a min or two long, not high def, so its not too unimaginable...

A: 

Yes

Check out the Google/Youtube.com upload APIs, which include a mechanism for what you want to do. The relevant sources of information:

1. Is it not possioble for the web app to use my credentials, but get the data from the enduser's machine?2. Do you know of any where where i can get the source code for something exactly liek this?

1. I stand corrected regarding the upload to your account--youtube.com has developed a mechanism for doing this! 2. Nope, sorry. But check out the links in my answer. There is at least a starting point there.
