New description:

 typical source code of the editor in the admin is like this:

 {{{
 <form name="post" action="post.php" method="post" id="post">
 }}}

 Suggestion:

 When i add (or edit) a post type '''MyVideos''', it is good, if the
 `<form>` contained the class name, like:

 {{{
 <form class="posttype-MyVideos" name="post" action="post.php"
 method="post" id="post">
 }}}

 default for typical posts or pages should be i.e.
 class="posttype-'''post'''" and class="posttype-'''page'''"

Comment:

 > When i add (or edit) a post type MyVideos, it is good, if the <form>
 contained the class name

 Why? The post type is already part of the `<body>`. For example, for the
 `post` post type it looks like this:

 `<body class="wp-admin wp-core-ui post-new-php post-type-post …">`

 IMHO the editor should not need to know about the post type (and probably
 can't the way things are set up now).

 If you need to target the editor for a specific post type, you can use
 `.post-type-<type> form`
