Zip file?
Adobe has their own Creative Cloud desktop application that drives installations, have you tried that way?

Bandicam can be set to record a fixed frame rate.
I’ve used it as well, including to capture and convert a long series of clips from a security system that required a proprietary player, to be fed in as roll-ins for a conference, and never had that happen.
I have, though, struggled with variable frame rates from Wirecast, as have the clients who had me trying to edit/repurpose the recordings. Needless to say, I’m not a fan.

Team Viewer is what I’d try first.

A Sony Vaio is a Windows machine. ProRes is not a realistic option.

How old a Sony? Can you be more specific?
H.264 does ask a lot of a system, in terms of CPU load. And some (many) laptop drives are slower than desktop drives.
Also, odds are the files and the system are on the same physical drive, which slows things down even more.

1440 x 1080 is HDV resolution/pixel aspect.
You might look at the HDV 1080/25 preset and adapt those settings. (You will want to change field priority, for one.)

Does YouTube even have a 1536 x 864 setting? (I have not seen one.)

Apparently not. I hadn’t looked, as I have not done the 4K upgrade. (No one’s asking for it to this point.) Do rather like my X70, though. And it’s got a sweet 1080 HD 60fps/50 megabit record rate I use for nice slo-mo stuff.
If 60 fps is critical you would best look elsewhere then. What do you use the 60 fps frame rate for?

“Chipping” once referred to painting white balance with a chip chart. It now means hitting the AWB button/switch while pointed at a white surface.
IRE is the measure of luminance (brightness in strictly black & white terms) and if your camera has a zebra setting putting it at 70-80 IRE* is good – that’s about where you want the brightest highlights** on Caucasian skin, exemplified by noses/cheekbones/foreheads and the like. If you cut in Premiere the waveform monitor will show you the 0-100 IRE scale on what you’d already recorded.
Not really one of the big guys, as you phrased it, I’ve just been around for a while.
* Don’t white balance at 100 IRE/peak white. At that point you don’t really know what you’re balancing on.
** Since people are what I deal with regularly, I tend to optimize for recording them – rather than environments or objects. As always, your mileage may vary. (Standard disclaimers apply. Non-standard disclaimers available by prearrangement.)

Export the rotated and slightly up-resed clip to something comparatively “lossless” and use that.
Lagarith or CineForm, maybe, at a good high bitrate, and possibly (depending on the content) a touch of sharpening applied should help.
And yes, as Dave comments, your export dimensions seem somewhat unusual. What’s the output headed for?
