Hmmmm. It's all scrambly. Nice and small. Easy to upload. It exports fine in DV and MJPEG or whatever (huge tho).

Hmm...a couple of questions:
 
1)Where does that psychedelic flashing come from? Is that what happens when you upload a track without an image to go with it?
2) I notice the highest quality available on the video is 240p. Was there an option to select the quality, or did you have no choice? 
 
Here is a table which shows the audio quality you get with various YouTube video qualities:
 

 
So if it's forcing an upload at 240p, that's a pretty lame bit rate. Plus the AAC compression doesn't kick in until 360p. AAC performs a lot better than MP3 at the same bit rate, so the MP3 equivalent of 152kbps AAC is probably a lot higher. When I listen to music on YouTube at 720p, it sounds way better than a 152kbps MP3. 
 
PS nice tune!

In this version, you can see the video...

This export was done the same, but I exported at the DV quality and not for YouTube. It created a video file that was like a gig in size. It took 30 minutes to updload, but it gets to the video to the 480 level if you choose it. I'm not sure how to get to the 720 and the higher audio quality. This is ok though since you can see it.
 
I should say more about how I created the video...
1. Original Files were .MOV files made with my regular snapshot camera.
2. I used Windows Movie Maker to convert the files to WMV file types so I could work with them in Sonar Producer X64.
3. I imported into a Sonar Project and faded out the Video Wave file while fading in the 24 bit 44.1 mixdown... then did the reverse at the other end of the video.
4. I selected all and did File > Export > Video.
5. From here you can set the Save As type to

• Video for Windows
• Windows Media Video
• Quick Time
• YouTube Publisher

6. When you select YouTube Publisher and hit the Encoding Options button, you can set the track title and other text parameters for the upload, but there is no where to control the quality of the video per se. There are MultiPass and Frame Indexing check boxes. I checked both thinking it might make for higher quality.
7. Next, I hit the Audio Mixdown Options. Here, you never want to upload higher than 24 bit because the players will not play back the audio. So head down towards 16 bit 44.1 for YouTube in my opinion.
 
When exporting for Video for Windows with Video Encoding Option set to DV Video Encoder, the songs come out around 1 Gig (This can be played in YouTube at 480p). When choosing MJPEG Compressor, the songs are around 15 Gig. WMVideo9 Encoder comes out with a video that has a blank screen, but it plays the audio ok.
 
Then I exported. For whatever reason, the video is all scrambly only for this YouTube option. I'm thinking of installing 32 bit Sonar to see if it work better.
 
This video was made using Microsoft Expression then combining using Windows Movie Maker. It can go up to 1080p (High Def).

Thanks for watching!! :-)

Since they did not get to the video updates that were originallyslated to be included in the patch, let's hope the d patch fixes these issues

btw, nice song!

btw, nice song!
 

Thanks, Dub!
 
Today, I tested exporting using MJPEG thing (15 gigs for a 5 minute video) and after uploading I could get YouTube to play it in HD.
