You major problems are that the bar path is not linear and that you're pulling with a rounded back. The latter is more important as you can get injured. You need to have an arched/neutral lower back.
To avoid the bar curving around your knees, you have to have your shoulder blades over the bar at and below the knee. Yours is behind, which means you're bending at the knees first on your way back down. You have to push your butt back and when the bar crosses the knees, then you bend them.
Check out the guide at the bottom of my post/top of the page for more details.

One more thing- It is really good that you post a lot of form check videos. You will be a tank and have perfect technique in just a few years  |

Ouch, no arched back!
You will probably have to drop your hips as it looks like your hamstrings are not flexible enough to deadlift in that position without rounding your back. Lower the weight, drop the hips and do some hamstring stretches.

The girl did a fantastic hang clean - could work bending them knees like how she front squats, but nice.  The girl got it at the second rep, but didn't in the first. Front squat push press haha. --- deadlifts. your lifting it in a way that you're slanting towards your back - direction of how you pull it off the ground. may be you shouldn't look so high in the sky when you execute the deadlift. --- i wish i could see the lady's face.  |

Torso should be more horizontal than vetical to the floor. Bar should be much more close to shins. Above the middle of your foot (whole foot , not the part of the foot you see) Hips should be held higher. are those hex plates? If round plates are available use them And please read little sprite's deadlift guide. It is available on the powerlifting tab above. |

I see you have some fine specimens at your gym  . I'll leave the form-checking to the usual characters. |

actually shes stronger than 80% of the guys in the gym. My school has 45,000 people, out of everyone ive seen go in that gym, she has better form/is stronger than most. Even the roiders.
w aire I hate the hex plates I am building my own weight set at home, the power cage will be here monday and the weights/bench /bar will be ready by this weekend hopefully. and they are round metal plates, I need to build an oly platform!

One thing people haven't suggested is trying sumo deads. It's the only way I can comfortably deadlift.
Keep trying to correct your form. If you just can't get into the position (or it doesn't feel natural like it did with me) then try out sumo deads?

lol alright i'll try fixing everything. I knew there was something wrong with being that much vertical to the floor because balance was off.
I have contemplated sumo deads, but have never done them before, is it true that you can move MUCH less weight with those?
