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.
