Recording Gameplay

[Eroge]

I play a few PC games and use fraps to record some videos at 1920x1080 resolution. Once I'm done recording, the file size is always massive and uncompressed. What program could I use to easily compress it without messing up the quality of the video? A tutorial or something would be real helpful because I want to get these videos on Youtube.

YouTube will convert the videos for you, so I am not sure what the problem is.

imtoo video converter ultimate - pretty much converts everything

cyberlink mediaespresso - fast .264 conversion

the easiest program and mostly used is virtual dub and actually easy and does a pretty nice job!

Two free ones you might want to consider as well are Handbrake and MPEG Streamclip.
