Ran into an odd problem. I tried uploading a video from my Mac to YouTube. This is the first time I've tried to do this since upgrading the Mac to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). The problem is that YouTube doesn't even let me see the dialog box to upload a file from the Mac. You can see what the problem looks like in the screenshot above.

In fact, YouTube upload works fine from an iMac in the office and my 1st generation MacBook. So, I'm at a loss for an explanation. I may have to wipe out the Mac and perform a clean install of Snow Leopard.
You have to delete Google
You have to delete Google Gears from your machine since it is not compatible with Snow Leopard. I think the file is called gears.plugin
Find it in spotlight and get rid of it. Worked for me.
