It's good to be back here.
So yesterday I streamed a new time trial WR for P1 to TBK as a test, and recorded it as well, using the 3dscapture software & hardware that TBK, Yazzo and Peutos have used in the past. So far, so dandy - I ended up with a 5 minute avi file, used AVI Split to cut it down to the appropriate length, and uploaded the recording to YT, as you can see here:

Now, the problem I have is that the above video looks, frankly, like crap. It's not the raw file that's at fault - that looks great on VLC on my laptop. And, in the past I have used the above process (substituting AVI Split for Windows Movie Maker) for decent results, as videos on my old account have demonstrated:

So, can anyone point me in a good direction to go in for encoding or compressing an avi file to something that will suit YT's compression? I'll try some random programs out tonight, but if anyone has some immediate tips that would be super. Cheers (and, look forward to seeing some more videos from me in the future - I have a lot of rust to shake off before the F-Zero Central Marathon!)
