not ideal, but the workaround for posting recordMyDesktop videos to YouTube is to losslessly remux the ogg from recordmydesktop into .mkv using mkvtoolsnix and then upload

i.e.,

$ sudo aptitude install mkvtoolnix
$ mkvmerge -o theora-vorbis-sample.mkv theora-vorbis-sample.ogg
$ gnome-open http://upload.youtube.com/my_videos_upload
$

Follow the usual upload procedure using the .mkv as input.
