Hi Genie,
I am positive that they did not remove the compression you were using in PDR 6, just added new ones.
You will just have to select the right profile when trying to create your file for upload to YouTube. I am guessing you were using DivX and a lower quality from the Quality drop-down to get it below 100 mb.
I personally usually use the streaming video selection when uploading. It usually makes a smaller file for use on the Internet. The file ones are more for burning to discs later.

I think I have found the error of MY WAYS.
Thank you for your response.
I have been kicking around nearly all of the compression selections.
I do remember before, that it definitely resulted in an .avi format - so that would leave only the avi or divx selection.
The divx compression was resulting in a smaller size then I was used to but at least uploadable. The problem was the quality was far less. After reading you post and again went back and looked around. I must have been using the divx (high speed profile) and have since tried the (high quality profile). This resulted in the approx file size and quality I wanted.
I have also discovered, but not tried, YouTube will now allow files up to 1 gig, but you must use a YouTube uploader file that you've installed on your pc.
Also, for YouTubers, they are now selecting (unknown how the decision) marking vids with a "watch in high quality" link. This is new. I think they are heading towards high def vid recognition. It is an option for viewing. They seem to be looking into the newer vids that are uploaded.
Other then apparently my bad on finding the right compression engine, I love the product and can't wait to get into a new vid and use the new PIP function.
I will be grateful when the clip duration issue is resolved.
My vids usually incorporate 100-200 films clips in a 10 minute timeframe and most clips are trimmed or extended down to the half second to hit certain beats in music. These vids take 4-7 days to complete, so I am constantly in and out of the program, which resets the durations. I don't have any trouble with the trims, but I do with the durations.
Thanks again for your response. It lead me to what configuration I had been using for many months. My problem comes, I think, from my husband passing away recently .... and I believe he was the one that set all that up for me originally.
