Compressing video on a flip mini hd for the internet

Hi there. I am a blogger and  i normally make videos with my flip video camera and want to upload it on YouTube but a problem i have is that I use handbrake to compress my videos and i normally select web optimized and 350 as the bitrate to compress it to so that it makes it much smaller cause it takes a while to upload it if I leave it the normal size.

What is a good size to use for video compression and posting on the net. I don't want it too big and I don't want the quality to be too bad either???

Is the video on the harddrive?
what format?
Mac or windows 7?<< this would have saved time if provided.
Just you say handbrake ,
Mac windows has imovie
Reduce video size & YouTube upload time with Handbrake [HD]

windows 7 has windows live movie maker which publishes to youtube
Convert it to either wmv or mp4 with a video scale of 320 x 240

You do realize whatever you do Youtube will convert it to flash
