Okay, so I've taken some videos using FRAPs of a game (PES2010, goals I've scored) and I want to put them in a compilation and chuck them on YouTube.

All the videos are in good quality when I view them in WMP, yet if I go in to Movie Maker and try to compile them, I get awful quality and the FPS just dies when watching the video.

What am I doing wrong? I don't remember this problem when I did some other videos. Is there a better programme than Movie Maker (I know there probably is, just neeed to know what)?

Any other tips would be good, settings I used in FRAPs was Full-size and 60FPS.
 
Movie Maker is limited and in my experience VERY buggy and loves to 'stop responding' to the simplest of tasks, so it may not be liking the 60 fps. What is the output format you want to make the avi file to? wmv?

Adobe Premiere is what I use to encode videos, the whole CS IV Suite is the way to go.

MPEG4 would be nice.

Shall I try the videos in something like 30/40FPS?

After Effects/Premiere Pro. Use something that's actually up to the task.

Try 30fps to start and see how WMM behaves. But I believe Quick Time Pro will let you encode from Avi to MP4 and its as light as an Elise :P

So, the video quality when put in the storyboard and then played is awful. If I convert it to a Movie File then play it in WMP, it's fine.

Sorted!
