But you didn't detail what platform you are on. That's kind of important

No.
I don't use Youtube. My clients are of a different sort.

the only thing that count when upoading to youtube is how much motion there is in the frame and for how long. Lots of cut and lots of motion will produce the worst results.
I upload QTs of 320x240 compresed with Sorenson Squize 3 at 750kb/s. I did some tests and it really don't matter if your file is 95MB or 9MB -- if it looks decent in the uploading format it will look "decent" on youtube.

I have seen some strange GOP issues come up when the first frame is very detailed. I start mine with a black frame.
The hack for "HD Video" on YouTube is interesting, but for the most part, tweaking video on YouTube is like polishing turds.

i posted a timelapse that looks good in QT and like trash on youtube. unfortunately i cant seem to get it to look like the QT even when importing the video into flash myself.

This article is great but the file sizes are insane. A 5-min clip would be over 200 mb using these settings and YouTube allows 100 mb max.
I don't know where you see that in the article.
For example, the preset is couched with this language: "So, I decided to create a general preset that would work as a good starting point for clips under 5 minutes in length and use as much of the 100 MB size limit as I needed. Also, I wanted to use what I already owned (Compressor) and not have to buy any plug-ins or use any other software."

this isn't the same as the youetube hack where you trick their servers to get HD quality in flash, now those file sizes are insane.
You're right David. My platform is FCP 6 with Compressor, I didn`t mention it to keep it open to see if other platform would offer better results
Thanks a lot for the article, I've done some tests and once I get to some results I'll post them.
For a while it looks like PhotoJpeg is the best suggestion.
