I don't upload to youtube, but this website has some tips:

The main point is:
quote: That Web Site
... according to the people at YouTube, if you really want your stuff to look good, they recommended saving and uploading your video as a MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at 320x240 resolution with MP3 audio.
They also recommend 320x240 resolution (half screen size), MP3 audio and a 30 frames per second frame rate.
Also, as you are limited to a maximum 100-megabyte (Mb) file size and maximum a 10 minute length, a 1 minute 100 Mb file will look better then a 10 minute 100 Mb file. The more raw data you can send to YouTube, the better the flash compression process should be. If you are trying to impress and show off your video shooting and editing chops, you might want to cut your 6 minute video short into three pieces and send then as three standalone 100 Mb files of two minutes each, rather than as one six minute 100 Mb file.

I think the video size limit you can upload for a single clip is somewhere around 1 or 2 GB. The 100MB limit is long gone. It is not unusual to take a long time for Youtube to process. Remember, they are running Windows ME and using CPUs with MMX technology. While that may sound really powerful, just keep in mind that there are millions of other videos being processed at the same time, so not even MMX technology can keep up. The bigger your file, the longer it will take to process. Give it at least an hour.
Yes, Youtube does re-encode and resize everything you send it. They say that they keep it in the original resolution, but I'm pretty sure that's BS. There is a way to watch a less compressed higher quality version, but the resolution is still the same, just less compression. It takes Youtube a long time after your original video is posted before the higher quality one becomes available.
