Hey Bros,

I'm completely new to the world of YouTube when it comes to making and posting videos, and so I need a bit of help

I'm trying to get the best video quality as possible, so viewers are able to view my videos in 1080p. I record with FRAPS and then do a little editing in Windows Movie Maker (Quite the noob hehe). When I'm done with editing I render it under the YouTube settings, but this completely ruins the quality of the video. I then attempted to render it in 1080p, but then I need to downscale the size of the video for uploading, so I use Handbrake to make it smaller. After uploading it to YouTube, I have a max of 360p What am I doing wrong? Am I using bad software? Should I use something else?

Thanks
James

Video Quality Help?

I found this post.. But I don't use Vegas so
I'll move over to Vegas as soon as I need it, but for now Movie Maker is sufficient.
So I suppose the best question to ask is, what Movie Maker settings should I use, and which program should I use to reduce the size of my videos, without sacrificing quality?

Appreciate the replies Will Vegas downscale the size of the videos? Or do I need to use something else?
