i got virtual dub but, when i upload it to youtube, the quality goes really down.... D:

what are you compressing the video as before you send to YT.

you want to get hte filesize as small as possible while maintaining quality before you send to YT. Or YT will recomporess it to a target filesize and make it look like shit.

iv found h.264 and xvid to be the 2 best codecs for use on YT.

i've been doing using h.264 video with mp3 audio @ 192kb/s in a mp4 container and have been getting good results here is a vid for reference for you.

oh i also record in 720p 1280x720 while im recording in fraps.

If you set the target render as 30FPS this also helps preserve quality once uploaded. YT will re-compress any videos above this down to 30FPS killing quality at the same time.
Austria is just like Yorkshire, but they have bigger hills.... oh and they have real snow too

well sending it to YT at 320p is part of hte problem they dont compress 720p and above as hard.

if you look at earlier videos on my channel you can get a look at what hte same settings look like with enhanced mode.

i just choose to use minimal since i prefer the look of it for puzzling play not because it doesn't it dosnt record with a good fps.

Running a 2 pass encode helps reduce file size without the same loss of quality as well.

Encode with MeGUI. It has the x264 as H.264 Encoder which is by far the best encoder for H.264.

And xvid is a bad codec. Same with Windows Media Video.

you set the x264 internal preset to "slow" and encoding mode to Constant Rate Factor. Set the rate Factor to 21 or even better 20 (lower values = better quality) and Upload high resolution.

My Fraps recordings are in 2048x1152 because I've a screen which has this resolution. And with that resolution Youtube will give you an awesome quality.
Look my video and switch quality to "original":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjfdO3detd0

Youtube doesnt have a fixed bitrate or filesize too. They use for each resolution a specific quality factor too.
And also audio quality depends on the selected quality.

Dont use virtualdub. Virtualdub has only AVI Output and H.264 is not a codec which should be put in a AVI Container.

The quality outcome at youtube isnt FPS depended either. wth. that wouldnt make any sense :P

As better the quality your source video has as more quality remains after youtubes encode - thats simple logic^^

Wasn't that hard to understand. Other plugins? De-M-oN was saying to use a different application all together.
