If you are trying to post the video to rcu I don't think they support video on their servers. You would have to get a third party hosting site and post the video out there and provide a link to it on RCU. If you want to use a free service go to putfile.com and I think they allow up to 10mb free.

As far as video editing goes, get the pinnacle systems plus. It is the best software that I have tried. A few months ago I was in the same boat as you wondering which program should I get, windows is good if you just want something to do basic editing, adobe premiere is the best if you are looking for a psuedo professional setup, as well as a few others I tried out. Pinnacle was the best of the bunch. The little extra features really is kind of nice.
