Using X264, for my 720x576 25FPS video (which was sourced from VHS video captures) I am happy with a bitrate of 1200 for the video. I capture the audio as CD quality wave and then encode that to 112kb/s (average) AAC , or 140kb/s (average) MP3.

This is very dependant on the settings chosen for x264, I've tried quite a few different settings and bitrates in the past, before arriving at the above which looks accurate compared to the original capture AVI while giving a relatively very small filesize.

As has been advised to you, I think Youtube 're-encodes' whatever you give it... I think you should search more on this site and the internet for more help.
