Presently I am quarter way through doing another video.
Have done the main flights with a number of a/c with FS Recorder and now I have to record these flights before then editing and putting them altogether. What I have found on some practice recordings with Fraps is that when recording and playing back there is quite a bit of a slowdown on frame-rates giving a noticeable juddering effect, on videos from You Tube they all appear very smooth frame-rates. Firstly, do I need to reduce settings in FS9 i.e. Autgen and Scenery + Clouds? or is there another way without having scenery reduction. I had seen Peters' video of aerobatics it was very smooth with little reduction in scenery.
OK, maybe I should RTFM but because at the moment I am very limited on time due to other commitments any help would be appreciated.
Late Edit - I also have Virtual Dub but not used it on previous recordings.....should this also be used to help frame-rates?
My setup is as follows
3 Ghz CPU
2 Gb RAM
NVidia 7800GS Video Card
Many thanks in advance

Nigel.
I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
Virtualdub is really only of use to change the codec of your video, chop bits out, etc. I guess it could be described as a non-linear video editor. A wonderful programme but not much use here.
Maybe you need to adjust the output quality of FRAPS and tune the parameters for the YouTube converter. Since I have never used either, I'm guessing! It seems that YouTube needs an FLV file (?) - perhaps look at a programme that generates FLV files with more control and then see if that works in YouTube. For my recent heli video, I used Riva FLV Encoder - no idea how good it is but it worked for me.
Perhaps detail what your current workflow is so that people can suggest improvements.
