-stunning- for your first try and even if it would be your 10th try...

Keep up, looks promising!

Cheers!

Glad to see you got something together BW_Wolverine.

What program/s did you end up editing/rendering/converting with? 360p is a bit low res.

I was using FRAPS recording to get the footage from CoD, then Xvid4PSP to convert the fraps footage into MP4, then importing to iMovie with no conversion, then I used iMovie for editing (and Garageband for the audio tweaking) plus iMovie's 'share to youtube' function to render/convert.

I'm hoping to improve the rendering next try.

Download and install this x264 codec - http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/

Run 'Configure x264vfw' from the start menu or wherever you installed it, to open up the codec's configuration window . From the 'Rate control' drop down menu select 'Single pass-lossless'. In the 'Output' section; select 'File' from the 'Output mode:' drop-down menu, and 'x264' from the 'VFW FourCC:' drop-down menu. Click 'Okay' to exit.

Run Xvid4PSP. Select MP4 from the 'Format' drop-down list. Press the round button next to 'Video encoding' drop-down list. Go to the top right corner of the 'Video encoding settings' window that opens and select 'x264'. Go to the bottom left corner and tick 'Lossless'. Click 'Okay'. Open up the video you want to convert and encode it. On the test I did, this compressed a 917 MB FRAPS AVI down to a 41(!) MB MP4 video file with negligible degradation of the image.

See if iMovie will accept the video clip. If it does, follow the settings described below to export the video -

iMovie 08

iMovie 09

If you get that far, upload the video to Youtube and see if it looks alright.

That's what I'd try, if I had no way of editing the FRAPS AVI files as is.
