I was able to use iMovie to transcode my 2G .mov to something that enabled
youtube's HQ option: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm0RyM1bmLs#
What I used:
iMove HD 6.0.4, Export, Quicktime, "compress movie for: expert settings" (press
"share") verify H.264 in export options" (ok) save.
Which resulted in:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/a$ tcprobe -i h264version.mov
[probe_mov.c] audio codec=sowt
[probe_mov.c] video codec=avc1
[tcprobe] Apple QuickTime movie file

So now I need to do the same thing with tc, and fail:
