Also, I have found that Handbrake is easier to work with and has more features. For best results, you should upload MP4 H.264 with AAC audio.

For best results, you should crop off the top and bottom black bars and either upload a 480x270 or 640x360 (only to be future proof for possible future format options) 720×480 widescreen is still 4:3 with black bars on the top and bottom of the video, not 16:9, so YouTube treats it as a 4:3 file.

It is important that you follow them as closely as possible for best results. In your comment, you say "data rate - auto"; you need to explicitly set the data rate to at least 4000Kbps (or higher) @Sir Bob – Since your footage is HD, you should use the 720p encoding settings.
