Thanks for the videos. I have never done a dumbell snatch, just the olympic snatch. That looks like a great variation, and I'm going to try it.
What I would point out is that in the videos that show the side view, you see the dumbell travels a straight up and down path, which is good. In the snatch, people sometimes have a tendency to waste energy and put themselves in a mechanically disadvantageous position by moving the bar out and away in an arc from their body as they lift. Instead you want to see the bar (in this case the dumbell) travelling in the shortest path from the lift start to the top of the lift.
I'm looking forward to trying this dumbell variation later in the week--thanks for this discussion.
