This is scary. I guess encryption with those applications is no longer useful.

What? It has been known forever that you can retrieve encryption keys if you dump the contents of memory (raw or hiberfil.sys while hibernated) but that relies on the computer being on and the encrypted filesystem being mounted.
No, this absolutely doesn't make truecrypt/bitlocker "useless" / "no longer useful".

If for example you have an external HDD encrypted and lose the HDD they can't break in to it (without brute forcing, which would take millions of years if you have a decent encryption key).So they will not be able to break into an external hard drive that is encrypted then? A backup hard drive I mean.

The scenario in the video you posted would rely on the encrypted external HDD being connected to your computer, the encrypted volume being mounted, and a person having access to your computer so they can dump the memory to retrieve the keys. An encrypted HDD on its own would be useless to them.
