I spent another frustrating night last night, and still can't render
things in Vegas (movie studio HD platinum V11) and upload them in
YouTube successfully. Mostly the failure mode is that YouTube says it's
unable to process the file I uploaded. I have gotten two very short
clips to work, one of which works fine, the other of which plays with
severe video glitches (consistently).

I've tried mp4 1280x720 30fps, Quicktime, and a couple of others I
think.

So...has anybody here ever gotten something edited in Vegas to work on
YouTube? If so, exactly how did you render it?

I found that the best format to use when uploading videos to YouTube is
wmv.
I had problems uploading high resolution videos 1920 x 1080 as they were
slow to upload and after a while they stopped uploading. So I now upload
videos that are compiled as 720 x 1280 in wmv format.
Try uploading the video by compiling it as a file first then log onto the
YouTube site with your web browser and click on upload file on the YouTube
site.

I get excellent results rendering to a template I based on the MainConcept
MPEG-2 Blu-ray at 1920x1080i template (.m2t files). I cranked the quality
settings up to the maximum and checked the two-pass box. The video files are
about 200 MB per minute of video (meaning that the upload time is about 50
times greater than the playing time, with my connection) but they look very
nice on YouTube.

I should mention that I always render to a file and then upload that (since I
need an archive copy, anyway). I've never tried to use the direct upload
feature.
