How did the quality look on the original capture using FRAPS? Was it blurry then? If no then you're fine there.

Next, after you converted to use a compression either WMV if you used Windows Movie Maker or AVI using whatever; how was the quality then? Was it blurry? If not then you're fine there. It it was then it was the compression settings you used.

If it only started to look blurry after it was on placed on Youtube then the problem is with what happened to it after YT got a hold of it or a setting on YT you used because I know YT has high quality full 1080p videos.

what are the best compression settings ,i tried it with Windows Movie Maker ,both video's with different settings the second looks kinda better

Compress settings works one of 2 ways.

* The better the quality the less compression and the bigger the file size.

* The better the compression the smaller the file size but the quality is worse.

If you want it look as best as it can, then I would use the highest quality settings there is and spend the longer time doing the upload.

 

Personally I would use VirtualDub with Xvid codec installed and still use the highest quality settings.

If all you're going to do is a simple straight up convert of the video you can use SUPER http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html but if you want to edit the video, cut out some parts for whatever reason then I would use VirtualDub.
