Just export using 'quicktime conversion' and export as a medium or high quality MP4. Youtube will take this format. Ansel, you can do it in final cut.

I worked out a solution involving a free program called Mpegstreamclip last night, hopefully it will last. I haven't been to Fond-des-Blancs, so I don't really know the situation there...

Of course, you can always section off a video into different parts if it is too long.

I'm not familiar with Final Cut Pro, but can't you output from the program to an mp3 format? Another restriction for a YouTube video is that the video can only be 10 minutes long, unless maybe you are a premium member or you get permission (don't know for sure how). But is you upload the video to Google Video, there is no restriction (I believe) on the length of the video. If you are having problems compressing a video or don't have time, let me know and I can have my brother David do it. He works in Final Cut Pro for his job as a Technical Editor and Broadcast Engineer. On a personal note, any word about how the people in Fond des Blancs fared? I did some research online and figured they were ok because I read this story: http://www.haitihealth.org/index.php/blog/view/god_is_in_haiti St. Boniface is located in Fond-des-Blancs. Of course, that doesn't mean that people from Fond-des-Blancs who were in PAP were not effected... but still encouraging news. My Mom and Dad are both from Fond-des-Blancs. Some relatives still there. Take care of yourself. Ansel,
