Out of interest, why do the videos need to be posted at a specific time? As the world rotates, different people are awake all the time. Are they specific to your local area?
The land, and thus the population of the earth aren't distrubuted equally across the globe. This causes a day-night cycle for online communities, despite being international, just due to the fact that the majority of humans live somewhat close together on a global scale.
That's true, I hadn't thought of that. So the optimal time to get the most people waking up to your content is about 01:30 UTC for India waking up from 7am (UTC+5:30), or 23:00 UTC for China at UTC+8!

If there really is an equal distribution of users across the globe, yes. But you also need to consider that most users here are probably from Europe or north america, but I'm not sure about that.
Yeah, and there's no way to know.
Not without asking all instances to pile together the IPs that access them, I suppose. But there are ways to make educated guesses, like using polls and interpolating that data.
It is entirely me wanting people to see them. Many sort by new, hot, top x hours etc. I'd just like to make people happy by posting stuff at an optimized time.
