Glad to help Bob. You might also want to consider that YouTube, unlike some
other hosting methods, offers relatively low quality video, based on the
small frame size and low bit rate limitations it imposes. Those who are
distributing high definition video clips have discovered / created other
venues for doing so, and you may wish to eventually explore this path as
well. I think the Ulead approach is an excellent starting point for a
newbie, and it continues to serve me well even as a more experienced user,
but the YouTube delivery method lacks a lot in viewer quality. If you should
eventually decide to get into some serious high def postings of your video,
we can offer further suggestions.
