I too have used WinFF successfully in the past. Recently I have started using Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr/) for my encoding needs. Not sure if it has a YouTube profile in there though... I've just downloaded the latest Windows version (0.9.4)(because of the machine I'm working on at the moment), and it doesn't so I assume the Ubuntu version is the same, but the GUI is nice and simple (relatively speaking!) so you could alsways use this page on youtube to configure one - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=132460&topic=16612&hl=en-GB Steve Garton blog.sheepeatingtaz.co.uk -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
