Has anyone seen it? Was it ever on video or DVD?

See my response at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045328/board/flat/253142078?d=253146460#253146460

Gone to Earth (1950) is available on DVD from UK DVD suppliers like Amazon.uk at http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000059RNP/papas-21

It's a region 2 DVD but don't let that put you off. You can play DVDs from any region in the DVD player on your PC or laptop, as long as you use a decent media player like the XV Player and not the Windows Media Player

Which one is it on YouTube?

The Wild Heart (1952) isn't just a retitling of Gone to Earth (1950), it's a badly cut version that misses out a lot of the story and adds a lot of close-up of Jennifer Jones - all made at the insistence of David O. Selznick (Jennifer's husband at the time). The additional scenes were filmed in America and the funniest one is when she's running with the fox in her arms towards the end. But they apparently couldn't find a tame fox in Hollywood so she's running with what is obviously a stuffed toy fox 

Ignore the titles, Gone to Earth has been shown titled as The Wild Heart and The Wild Heart has been shown titled as Gone to Earth. The Selznick version has shots of the Selznick Mansion in the opening titles
