Really need a side shot to make a good go of it buddy :P
What I can tell you from the video is that you should stop looking up when you squat. Look down, as if you had a tennis ball between chest and chin, at a spot 6-10 feet in front of you on the floor.
At the moment, you looking up is putting the weight on your heels as well as promoting bad form along your spine. You'll start to damage your knees too most likely. You want to be looking forward... you want your chest out and your butt out... don't round your back at any point through the squat (unless you're lifting hueg loads, which will cause a little bit of rounding at the top of the spine. NEVER round at the bottom)
You also want your feet wider apart. Only a little.. get your heels shoulder width, with your feet point out 30 degrees. You also need to keep you knees pointing out, making sure they track over the feet properly.
Try dropping the weights and going to the lowest squat point you can. Use your elbows with your hands together to push out your knees. Try and replicate that without your elbows.
ALSO... you don't appear to be driving with your hip out of the squat. Pretend that you're pushing upwards with your ass instead of pushing off the ground with your feet.
ALSO... side shot, NAO!!!
Really though, go /rs/ starting strength... download it and read the whole section on squats, it will clear it up entirely for you.
