Aspect ratio or w/e!?
 

Hello i've just started to make movies and i use FRAPS to record with everything works fine with my 23" 1920x1080 resolution. When i watch the fraps files on my computer they look all great, even if i render the files with Sony Vegas they look fine but..here's the problem.. when i upload a good looking movie to youtube the quality becomes crap and the text is very hard to even see, and yeah i'm using the "1080p" option when i view my own movies on youtube.. so could this be a problem with the aspect ratio? i really need help to get the movies look better on youtube not on my own computer :S

Its not a problem with the aspect ratio. There are certain codes youtube does not like as much as others which downgrades quality. What are your render setting you are using?

okey is there some settings you could recommend for a 1920x1080 fraps file?

my rendering settings
Always 1920x1080 with 30 FPS
ffdshow codec
x264
H.264
AVC1
MP4
All different aspect ratios
feels like i pretty much tested it all :S

What I do is after editing, I render with no compression than I use virtualdub to compress it. Here is a good video on how to get crisp HD video. Its aimed at compressing straight from Fraps files but it works just as well for any other file.

Which format do you render to without the compression?

Uncompressed AVI. I use Sony Vegas to edit so I just use the default uncompressed Template.

I followed the tutorial you linked and i didnt see any improvement on the PC it looked awesome but here's the youtube quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRmxtkESTT8

you see? the text in chat on damage meter and w/e is jagged/pixelated

It looks like the videos being stretched a little bit add a resize filter in virtual dub to the 1920x1080. See if that fixes it at all.
