You're welcome Graham,

I understood from you original post that you had converted the .avi video to 
MP4, then used QuickTime to just trim the MP4 video file? 
Then you wanted advice - how to upload the MP4 video file to YouTube...?
Why did you re-convert (or export, or save) the edited MP4 to .mov format?

I've always used and recommended all versions of Toast Titanium. 
Capture - Copy - Convert - Share - Burn
Roxio have very reasonable 'Upgrade price' when a new version is released.
The current version is Toast Titanium 12.

I still keep QuickTime Pro installed on my Macs as well.
