routes.js

Router.route('/videos/:id', function () {
  var item = Videos.find({_id: this.params._id});
  this.render('VideoItem', { data:item});
});

video.html

<template name="VideoItem">
  <div class="container">
    <h3> Video Information</h3>
    {{video}} 
  </div>
</template>

find returns a cursor. That would work if you were iterating over a set of videos with #each. In your case you want a specific video so you'd need to use findOne like this:

Router.route('/videos/:_id', function () {
  this.render('VideoItem', {
    data: function () {
      return Videos.findOne(this.params._id);
    }
  });
});
