Poor audio quality in youtube upload
 

Hi all,

I have recently uploaded 5 or so videos for a new client's website. The web designers are using youtube to host the videos. So, I uploaded an mpg2, which is the original quality of the footage. The video looks great, but the audio sounds crunchy. It seems to be a compression issue- it's worse when the video is longer.

I then tried an H.264-HDTV-1080p-24fps-HighQuality render. Audio is AAC,160kbps, 44.1khz, stereo, vbr-2pass. Still no luck.

Does anyone know what the issue is here, if it is fixable, if there are any magic render settings in premiere to fix this?

I'd give you the link but for some reason I can't get into youtube right now. Arrrrgh!
