You need to get the bottom cover off really to get a better look, can't really tell from the vid as it's not long enough.
 Put the car in fifth gear and get someone to push it while you watch the belt, that would rule out the starter motor.

Vid needs to be longer but sounds like no compression

Guess so.  With it in gear yes?  :undecided:

Weird.  Video sounds like only the starter is spinning and nothing else.  You think it might be turning the crank which aint connected to the cambelt anymore (ie Cam gear aint turning)?  Slipped the keyway off the lower pulley perhaps?

Good luck with this mate, I hope its something silly (ie cheap to fix).

Also good luck with the move!
