I have a travel in all three video examples and call this any time I see it. If a pivot foot is established and it comes off the floor and is then put back down it is a travel. The dribbler can't pick up the ball, plant his right foot, spin onto his left foot, and then replant his right foot on the way to the basket (or any where else) when I'm on the whistle.

Now, if I am not sure he planted the first foot before clutching the ball then I can't call the violation - call it a miss if you want but if it is that close or I am not sure then I don't guess. I know refs who say anytime a player spins like this it should be assumed they traveled but that's not any better than those who choose to ignore it.

I do think I get more grief from coaches for calling it because so many do not. I agree with other posters that its a rule that beeds to be consistently enforced. I also know tat not everyone has the experience or ability to pick up on the smaller nuances of the game such as this which is why they do not see the travel when it occurs.
