Youtube MP3 uploading convertor

[Shooms]

What do people use to upload MP3 & attach a pic to youtube please ?

Also how do you do some of the snazzy effects say the morphing / trippy effects on a jpg of a label please ?

What's the best b/rate to rip at ? If I do @ say 192 does this mean people can snaffle a 192k rip from my vid ? Or does youtube downlevel the encodement ?

Ta in advance

I use windows movie make 6.0 which comes free with Vista Home Premium and above. This has most of them effects you see on the channels.

I think you can download it for free it as well.

As for the audio quality. I just choose 'automatic best quality'. Not even sure what bitrate is recorded to as youtube will filter it anyway.

I use Windows Movie Maker. The encoding process lowers the quality from the wav, and then it drops a bit more once it's up on Youtube.

On movie maker I use the option "best fit to size" and then decrease the size until I get to the lowest quality where the vertical height is still at 480 pixels.
