Title: Fraps -> YouTube (My way)
Post by: Slice on March 03, 2009, 01:14:33 PM
I made this on the SA-MP forums so I thought I'd post it here too, some might find it useful.

Hey,
I thought I'd share a decent way to encode Fraps videos and put them on YouTube without much quality loss.
I'm totally new to this but these settings works just fine for me.

High Quality
I use Adobe Media Encoder CS4, and for HQ videos:
I used Fraps to record, half-size.
Under "Format" I choose H.264 and use a custom made preset.
Video
Codec:MainConcept H.264 Video
TV Standard:NTSC
Width:640
Height:480
FPS:30
Field Order:None (Progressive)
Pixel Aspect Ratio:Square Pixels
Profile:Main
Level:3.0
Bitrate Encoding:VBR, 1 pass
Target Bitrate:2 mbps
Maximum Bitrate:2,5 mbps
Audio
Codec:AAC
Output Channels:Stereo
Frequency:48 kHz
Audio Quality:High
Bitrate:128 kbps
Precendence:Bitrate

High Definition
Under "Format" I choose FLV|F4V and use a custom made preset.
I used Fraps to record, full-size.
Video
Codec:MainConcept H.264 Video
Width:1280
Height:720
FPS:30
Field Order:None (Progressive)
Profile:High
Level:4.1
Bitrate Encoding:VBR, 1 pass
Target Bitrate:7
Maximum Bitrate:9
Audio
Codec:AAC
Output Channels:Stereo
Frequency:44.1 kHz
Audio Quality:High
Bitrate:128 kbps
Precendence:Frequency

Here's a HD video I made with HD encoding settings and Adobe Premiere Pro CS4: [noembed]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_izRBoJ4cQ0&fmt=22[/noembed]
Only difference from above settings that I set a different height since I ain't got a widescreen.

Any suggestions for video encoding in some free programs?

dang, I make my vids in Windows movie maker. Yes I know. I'm into music not that much into video. But when I upload them to youtube it's like shit quality opposed to when I play the file on my computer. Then it looks ok. Why does youtube do this, and how to avoid?

Just wanna add, if you have videos over 10 minutes, you can post it here on http://blip.tv/ (http://blip.tv/) ... only limit is under 100 MBs...

Frequency:48 kHz

Just a small thing but isn't 48kHz a little high and wouldn't 44kHz suffice?
If you're wanting higher quality audio, wouldn't upping the bitrate be a better way of accomplishing this?

Dugi I think ffmpeg can do this it's just a pain to get the right command (also fraps uses its own proprietary compression which some things can't read e.g. Linux).

I don't know if this will be any good to you or even if will alter the quality of your videos. But here is a good programme that shortens the length of videos dramatically to various video formats. Well hope you find it useful. http://tinyurl.com/ah7zfv (http://tinyurl.com/ah7zfv).

Freeware: SUPER converter (by Softonic) pretty much converts any video/audio file you want to pretty much everything you can imagine. Using this programm for about 2 years now and it always did his job. ;)
