best settings are to render out to sony avc - 10,000 kbpa minimum for good looking 720p on either youtube or vimeo, push it to 20,000 kbps if you can - YouTube also accepts 1080P footage. for SD, 3000-5000 kbps should be fine.. of course, you should use the same setting's (resolution, framerate) as your source. be sure to use CAVLC rather then BC (i don't have vegas in front of me so I prob misspelled this). profile should be set to high for HD and main for SD.
