Thanks so much for doing this King. I ran into some problems when I tried it out though. I generated a plist file and saved as "encode_ucb_delivery_youtube.plist" on my laptop. I copied it over to the Podcast Producer server in the directory /System/Library/PodcastProducer/Encodings. I did a pcastaction encode status and it appeared as expected. I ran the following:
"pcastaction encode --basedir=/Users/admin/Desktop --input=/Users/admin/Desktop/mini_mpeg4_640x480 --output=/Users/admin/Desktop/test.mov --encoder=ucb_delivery_youtube"
and received
"qtencode[45190:e0f] there was an error reading the settings
podcast:~ admin$ pcastaction encode --basedir=/Users/admin/Desktop --input=/Users/admin/Desktop/mini_mpeg4_640x480 --output=/Users/admin/Desktop/test.mov --encoder=ucb_delivery_youtube"
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
For other folks interested in generating custom encodings, remember that the /Encodings directory gets overwritten on updates.

Based on a thread on the Apple Discussions group for Podcast Producer (
Encoding Settings Changes), I've written a bare bones utility for making/editing encoding files.
The code is far from brilliant, and requires you to push the Options... button and OK the resulting settings dialog for changes to take effect. Some export components don't have a settings dialog, which is OK.
Encoding files must be named encode_(some encoding name).plist. See /System/Library/Encodings/ for examples.
Running pcastaction encode locally seems like a good way to test encode settings. See pcastaction help encode for more info.
