I did a second version of the asteroid run with altered settings (in video response) to see if I could get YouTube to switch to high-qual mode, but it seemed to cause YouTube to dump even more of their fuzzing compression on it. (But it does go away a bit if using the &fmt=18 on the address.) So far, it seems Xvid works better with defaults and makes a smaller and faster uploading file.

Anyone else try this yet? (Or am I the one late to the party when it comes to putting together Carrara animations?) I seem to like Xvid a lot better than the free version of the Divx encoder or the Intel one (Indeo or Radius or whatever its called). It seems a lot more flexible on screen sizing, frame rate, and compression levels.

Also I haven't seen much for time-synching Audacity tracks to video, so that was probably a false lead (for now). But it's still a useful application for editing sound in its own right.
