I thought I read somewhere that youtube was moving toward the h.264 compression.  You may want to take a look around the net and get the skinny on that.  If that's the case then compress using h.264.

If you want to mess around with other programs and a hex editor you can actually upload videos that are far superior to when youtube reencodes them.  You are bypassing the youtube transcoder that makes the video you upload a flash video.  You can usually upload videos <5mins that are free from blocks and encoding artifacts.
