UUID generation basically has to use a CSPRNG to avoid collisions (or at least a very large-state insecure PRNG). Because of the low volume simply using /dev/urandom on each node makes the most sense. If /dev/urandom is broken so is your TLS stack and a host of other security-critical things; at that point worrying about video ID collisions seems silly.
