Classic British Flight Sim

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

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.

Thanks Ian, still trying to work my way through blindly at the moment as have not found anything of help really.
