Get those elbows in front of the bar. Pin the bar back a bit more near your chest & get your elbows slightly forward of the bar which will help straighten your bar path. Aim for the nose, since your bar path tends to go out and up rather than straight up. Also, looks like you're cheating the ROM just a bit, get that bar all the way back down. If you don't get your elbows forward then, you'll really start to get warn out during the negative going all the way down.
In vid 1, you do a better job getting your body under the bar and your bar path is a bit better during the later reps.
Vid 2, your bar is traveling back instead of up, so think about what I said above, but let your body come under the bar.
Watch the Rip videos on youtube/SSwiki for the Press vids.
mine isn't amazing either =\ bar does a little bit what yours does + my back looks over extended, but waiting on teh responses.
As for your elbow pain, could be related to your elbow position since the weight is fairly significant. Foam rolling your bicep area & lower bicep tendons is a good idea. I have had a significant bicep issue in the past via a strain and tendonitis & they aren't insanely painful, but can be very debilitating for lifting since every lift will stress it in someway.
