.veg is the project file. You need to export your movie (File > Render As)

Flashflare,

Marc is completely correct about which source file YT wants to be uploaded, but also keep in mind the following, which is copied from the YT web site:

What video file formats can I upload?
YouTube accepts video files from most digital cameras and camcorders, and cell phones in the
.AVI, .MOV, and .MPG file formats.

And

What's the best format to upload for high quality?
We recommend the MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format at 320x240 resolution with MP3 audio, at 30 frames per second. Resizing your video to these specifications before uploading will help your clips look better on YouTube.

At the following URL in YT’s “HelpCenter”:

Hope this additional assistance helps?
