I just tested the YouTube HD export by uploading a few clips to YouTube.
The files uploaded fine, and looked great.  If QuickTime and other movie
players do not work with the .mp4, that is a different issue.  As far as
YouTube is concerned, the files seem to work fine.  At least in my
testing.

Export movie for YouTubeHD uses wrong audio codec (mp3 vs aac)

Bug description:
Using OpenShot 1.1.3 on Ubuntu Lucid.

When I export a movie for YouTubeHD, the following codecs are selected: 
1. video: libx264
2. audio: mp3
the format is mp4.

The resulting movie is recognized as corrupted (and therefore it doesn't play) on Quicktime and on other players, including YouTube.

I found that changing the audio codec to aac fixes the problem.

Is there any reason mp3 is chosen instead of aac? Otherwise I believe the latter should be the default option.
