Notes related to uploading a Youtube
video:
I usually edit my video's with Windows movie
maker, which comes with Windows XP and Windows Vista. Therefore I save my
movie file as .WMV and upload them in that format.
If you don't think that your video file
format will be recognized by Youtube, you can use a free video converter to
change it to one of the accepted formats.
