To disable "Popular Tags" -->
system > configuration > advanced > disable Mage_Tag

To disable your video module -->
In admin panel, click the menu “System” -> “Configuration” -> “Advanced” in “Advanced” Section, select “disable” for the module you would like to disable.

However, if you disable the module in admin panel, it will only disable the module output, not the module functionalities. Therefore, you have to change the ‘active’ tag to false in module XML file storing in ‘/app/etc/modules/YourNameSpace_YourModuleName.xml’ or simply rename the file extension
(eg. YourNameSpace_YourModuleName.xml_old); or delete this file -- which is not recommended.

Thank you. I was able to disable the tag module but I could not locate the video module. Do you know what the file name of this would be.

This is strange -- I’m trying to find the video module within the JM Fashira demo -- but I cannot find it.
Do you remember enabling it?

Here’s what you can do if you can’t figure out the module name that easily. If the module outputs html for the template, you can look at the block name of the html output. The first part of this name should be the same as the module name (this has been true for all the modules I’ve checked so far) .

Here’s how you get Magento to display the names of the html blocks. In your development environment, select your store in the Current Configuration Scope box

Then go to: System > Configuration > Developer > Debug

Enable the Template Path Hints and Add block names to hints.

Now access a page that contains the module you want to disable. You should see the block names written in blue around the html elements that belong to that block. If the blue names do not appear over the red box, move your mouse over the box and you should see the blue name appear.

Under the debug tab I’m only seeing the "Profiler" drop down menu. No Template Path Hints.

Magento Version 1.6.1.0

You looked under System > Configuration > Developer > Debug ​to turn on the template path hints?
