Can someone give me some advice on the fastest way to upload onto youtube?

I know it doesn't take all day to upload a 5 minute video. Here's how I did it.

I had my recording set on VGA, which is for web uploading. There's another type called QVGA for small image size for email attachments. Should I do the QVGA or would that give me crappy quality?

Any other tips would be appreciated
