Vidnik: upload Mac webcam videos to YouTube
Vidnik is a new Mac application that lets you quickly record video from your Mac's iSight camera and then upload it to YouTube. Simply run Vidnik, set your YouTube account username and password, record some video, crop it, add some tags and a description, choose the video category, and then click "Upload."The movies you record are saved as .mov files in ~/Movies/Vidnik so that you can use them for other things as well. You can also drag other movies onto Vidnik for easy upload to YouTube.
Vidnik is a good tool for video bloggers (who want to use YouTube's bandwidth instead of their own), video responses to other YouTube videos, and solo musicians who want to be able to quickly upload performance video.

Not to forget the excellent and still free (but make a donation if you like it, he is considering going pay because nobody's doing that) FlickrBooth, which allows uploads to youtube from PhotoBooth.

This is pretty useless, actually, since iMovie, an app that already comes with the Mac, has the exact same feature...

I don't believe iMovie '06 has an "upload to YouTube" feature like iMovie '08.

It's probably the updated one, but anyways, it's got it and I can prove it :)
It just depends on whether you want to have iMovie for everything or this app just for Youtube.

Thank you thank you thank you. Advantage over iMovie08 (which is great anyways) ... High Quality audio and video if you are custom encoding FLVs. Thank you for this nice piece of coding and all the best.

Another advantage: It works with older Macs using USB webcams. iMovie only works with the built-in camera on iMacs or with Firewire cams.
