I remember looking at this a while ago. These are the relevant sections 
of the API:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol?hl=en#User_Uploaded_Videos

https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol?hl=en#Favorite_Videos

The problem with the API is that with both of these, it only brings up 
25 videos e.g. https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/scooby1961/uploads

Unless I'm missing something? There must be a way to bring up all of 
them on one page right? Or at least cycle through the rest of them.

Same problem with favorties: 
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/adambuxton/favorites/
