When I listen to the video when in neutral, I hear a slight chirping, which then gets worse when load is applied.
Heres another hint, you say it only does it when its warmed up. Torque converters work by hydrolic coupling of the vanes, but when the tranny fluid gets warm, it also gets thinner, thus allowing more slip.
Can you put a stethescope on the bell housing?
If you hold the brake with it in gear and rev the engine a little, does it get worse?

Had a thorough look at it today, no cracks on the FP and nothing was loose I did re-torque of the bolts on the FP just incase, checked to see if the noise was coming from the Trans, and it's not. So I topped it up with trans fluid and it's still making the noise.
I'll try what you suggested biggestjohn, revving a little while in gear and report back.
