Is this video about OAuth 2.0 only, or the original 1.0 as well?

It's got bits on the issues in OAuth 1 as well.
In fact it had some interesting tidbits I never heard of before.
For example. Apparently the reason that signatures sucked so badly in OAuth 1 doing lots of crazy things with query parameters. Was because one of the requirements of OAuth 1 was support for PHP 4 that didn't have access to the raw query string.
