Mac users, please move along... this video isn't for you! :-P

If you use Windows Movie Maker and your YouTube videos are showing up wrong, especially if you're trying to do widescreen videos, then please watch this quick tutorial and follow the settings I show.  Then you will get the correct results... in fact, I used WMM to make this video itself.  Note that this is based on the XP version.  The Vista version, especially Movie Maker HD, may be different, but the general idea remains the same.

p.s. The "Video for local playback (2.1 Mbps)" setting is fine as well for videos without a lot of motion, such as screen capture videos or slide shows -- it gives you the sharpest, clearest picture.  For normal camcorder videos with a good amount of motion, "High quality video (large)" generally provides the best results.
