sorry but if you are performing KVL @ 8:30, shouldn't the eqn for the first loop be -10v + 3k(i1-i2)=0? Or do symbols change because the voltage going into the diode must be positive and the current going into the node is negative??
I believe his equation is correct due to his assumed direction of current being clockwise. Following component polarities, we see the +10v from source minus the diode voltage ,3kOhm(i1-i2), and this completes the loop and is equal to zero. If you assume a counterclockwise current flow, your equation would be correct. I don't think this matters as long as you are consistent with your direction/orientation. Let me know if you agree!
