When uploading rendered PC-captured footage to YouTube video is super dark?

So I have a YouTube channel with 40,000 subs (youtube.com/grohlvana) and I'm going to be covering The Elder Scrolls Online extensively. My problem is when I upload videos that I've captured (using OBS) and rendered (using Sony Vegas 11) to YouTube, they always come out way more dark than the raw footage AND rendered video. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcIg1-omenI

Now it seems something on YouTube's end is making the darks extra dark, but I look at other channel's videos that upload footage from the same games and they don't have this problem. I think it may have to do with encoding or something? I'm really at a loss here, I've had this same problem every time I upload any video that was captured on my PC whether I was using Fraps, Dxtory or OBS.

I render every video to match the project settings, which comes out to be 1280x720 at 29 fps.

Any help is appreciated.

I'd suggest you actually search out a youtube forum, or get in contact with youtube support. Or find a sony vegas forum, as they'd be much more likely to be experts in this specific area. And this looks fine to me:

The bright sections of the videos are fine, it's just the darks that YouTube makes "too" dark.
