Just playing with fraps and virtualdub last night and then uploaded a video to youtube, the quality isn't as good as I've seen others post on here so I was wondering what you fellow film makers had for settings. last night I recorded fraps full screen, after reading a few tutorials I'll be changing this to half, 30FPS, then in virtual dub I used a mpeg-4 compression with a single quality pass, I recieved error messages when I tried to execute a 2 pass. Then shot it up to youtube.

I've heard Windows movie maker produces fairly good movies?

What do you do?
