Sorry for the late reply. I'm sure you have all but figured this out ages ago, but for the new readers, here is my answer: It sounds like you are using the wrong codec. The codec is they type of file format the .mov is saved as. Think of it like a Word document. You can save the same text in all kinds of different word formats and versions but it still opens in Word. Codec stands for "COmpression/DECompression" YouTube loves the .DV format. If you can transfer using Quicktime to a DV codec, it should easily upload. It will still be a .mov, but the format will be DV. But those files can be pretty big. A better way is to transfer to H.264 at 400x300pixels. Again, it will still be a .mov file. Also, don't for get Youtube has limitations on file size and clip duration. Kirk Hi Alan,

I must be doing something wrong, I bought quick time pro 7 ( hope that's the same thing you were taking about), I uploaded to youtube three time's with three different file changes ( MV4, MPEG 4, AVI ) and each time I received "failed to convert video file". What am I doing wrong ? Thanks Alan Papszycki Hello Kirk,
