I've recently been filming quite a bit of video. Mostly family stuff, little baby brother snippets too. For the past month I've been recording video from a Casio digital camera; the quality isn't bad, kinda noisy but better than nothing. I bit the bullet earlier today and purchased a Flip MinoHD camera. Of course all of this with the purpose of capturing family moments and my desire to upload them to YouTube in HD.

If you do upload to YouTube, I'm wondering when you 1st connect your device to your Mac, where you like the video footage to go. Maybe iMovie? Or even iPhoto?

I've just never really done this with video so am kinda new to it. With photographs it's dead simple; connect digital camera to mac, iphoto opens up, i can edit if i wish and easily upload to flickr or picasa...

I know iMovie can do YouTube uploading which is good. I'm hoping this includes HD uploading. The editing is okay, though I personally preferred the old school iMovie 06' editing style, but no matter. But i'm just wondering if iMovie and it's subsequent folders is where all movie files are stored. Seems like a waste, considering copies are made here and there along the way, but then again i'm new to this so I don't know.

Bonus Question: Is there a limit to how many videos you can upload to YouTube; like say 500 or a 1,000???
