Hi,
yes... another thing that worries me it's the "title" tag in links (only visible in code).
For example the "title" tag for links in the category page is *category name* Porn Video Category. "Porn Video Category" is hardcoded in categories.tpl.php

This can lead to 2 problems:
1. If my site is not in english, the sentence in the title will not add value to my SEO... why mix 2 languages?
2. This might be a bigger problem. Porn website are known for having very little textual content (mainly videos and photos). All sites made with ASP are porn websites so we can assume many categories will be named the same (amateur, anal, etc). Let's say in a year you'll have sold 1 million copies of ASP - let's hope - there will be a million websites with few content and very similar code.
Remember that the link title tag is considered content (not code) by search engines. In fact the link title tag is also used for accessiblity for blind users. This means that a million website will have mostly identical pages... for example the CATEGORIES page: few text, identical categories, identical urls, identical title tags (Porn Video Category will be in every site). Also "Porn Video Category" will be repeated for each category, if you have 40 categories, 40 repetitions... search engines might interpret that like an over-optimization attempt.

While this is not an incredibly bad thing, I'm pretty sure it's not a good thing and not definitely not a good "quality" signal.

So we could eliminate "Porn Video Category" in the title tags and leave the category name only. But this leads to another issue: the title attribute in links should be used to give ADDITIONAL info to links. Why repeat the same info then?

I would eliminate the link title attribute for all these links (thats what I'll do on my sites), EXCEPT for the ones in the menus since they're customizable and the link title attribute will be uinque AND different to the menu name, example: Link Text: "Models" Link Title: "Browse our Porn Actresses Database". <--Good title attribute

The exact same reasoning should be used for the Title attributes ALT attributes for videos links in categories pages.
Example: the video "Sasha Grey Lesbian Experience" will have:

Anchor Text: Sasha Grey Lesbian Experience
Link title attribute: Sasha Grey Lesbian Experience
Image alt attribiute: Sasha Grey Lesbian Experience
URL:  /121/sasha-grey-lesbian-experience

That really looks as an over-optimization attempt to me. URL and anchor text is fine but in my experience if you don't have a real "alternative" text for the other attributes it's better to not use them at all. I'm not suggesting to have additional inputs fields for these attributes like for metas, it would be overly complicated and also unrealistic to have to edit them for each video. On my sites I will just eliminate the title and Alt attributes for these links.

Generally speaking in seo terms, if something is not adding anything relevant to the content and it's just a repetition, it won't bring SEO value to the site. Doing it will increase the risk of mediocre rankings or over-optimization penalties.

Sorry for being long, I thought it was better to describe why I would do certain things than just saying what to do.

Thanks for your time.

Also I think you forgot to add "day-days" to the language files. Years, minutes, hours, seconds are there but couldn't find day/days.
