I hope Youtube offers a higher limit.

Youtube is 1gig or 10min 59secons. It's probably best to render to a more compressed file though so your upload times aren't insane. I was getting files of about 150mb for a 4min file with wmv 720p. I'm still trying to find the best format for youtube though...for some reason my files look really bad in "standard" on youtube but they look good in HD. It seems that other people can get decent results in "standard".

after I use adobe premier to convert to mpeg2 the quality of the video is not as sharp anymore. What should I convert my 5DII video to which format?

Try doing a 2 pass render. I haven't tried it with mpeg2 yet, but it seems to help for wmvs (720p 30).

Is that an mpeg2 setting or mpeg4...I'm using PreElements7, and I don't see any export option like that...oh, and I'm also using Vista.

Youtube offers 1gig/10 minutes for standard accounts if I am remembering correctly. Thanks to the person who posted above regarding linking directly to the HD version, couldnt figure this out.

Edit: Nevermind, I see I was only reading until the end of page 1 and this has already been answered, I need to get used to forums haha

mpeg2 is garbage.

for uploading to youtube, you want to use h.264, 1280x720, 3Mbps minimum video bitrate, if possible, and two-pass encoding, of course.
