uploading video to youtube

[Papa's films]

Could someone please point me to a Beginners tutorial on getting a video edited in VS Pro x2 uploaded to youtube. ie what format should the video be rendered in? How do you change the codec and what codec should I use? I need some start to finish help, please.

I would start off by going to the You Tube site, signing in (register if you don't have an account) Once in click on "Upload" then scroll down to "Best Video Formats for You Tube"
All the info you need is there. Come back if you need any further help!

It has been my mantra to render the video to the best quality that fits within YouTube's size requirements. The reason being because YouTube seems to re-render the video even if you upload one in their preferred format. Uploading the highest quality possible helps prevent degradation from YouTubes re-render.

I upload MPEG-2 or DV-AVI files.
