Mentioned in the Troubleshooting:Uploads section is that Real media (.rm) and Flash (.flv) are not supported.  They mention using Windows Movie Maker or iMovie, so all the formats that either one can produce should work.

:I thought I remembered reading forums somewhere about people transcoding to FLV and uploading to YouTube. They reported it worked, but there was generational loss since YouTube transcodes it to a new FLV anyway. I have yet to test it personally. Also, I tend to think that any length error indicated in this table is a malfunction on the part of the trancoding software since none of the files were anywhere near the file size limit nor time limit. --[[User:Multimedia Mike|Multimedia Mike]] 00:44, 5 January 2007 (EST)

You should be able to get around the file too long message by having the upgraded youtube account (called something like director). It allows you to post movies that last more than 10 minutes. According to the website, the maximum size is 100 MB.
