This is directed at our excellent video oriented peeps.
How are you capturing the video with sound? Are you using Fraps on a replay? Exporting to DivX direct out of rFactor?
After my great night runs at the Ring last night in the C6R I would like to capture some of the better laps for my own self amusement!
Any help/direction/explanation would be helpful and appreciated.
Cheers!

I use Fraps to capture From rFactor. Set it to capture 60 fps for higher quality. I then use Cyberlink Power Director to edit and upload to YouTube.

I use FRAPS as well then AVISynth to join videos (FRAPS is making 4GB FAT32 compatible segments for longer videos, perhaps there's a option I need to toggle [does it do that for you Hawks?]) crop and (simple) edits and compress before uploading to YouTube
I couldn't get rF outputting directly to a modern format properly thus the two step.

It is worth the time to compress the video on your PC before uploading if that's your end goal. FRAPS' raw AVI files are huge which takes time to upload then YouTube (or whatever service you use) takes a long time to process. Full-resolution x264 files as an intermediate makes the process go a lot quicker.
Spaz is the expert here though, maybe he'll come along with some better ideas.

I use a cough..."registered" version of Frapps for capturing the rfactor footage. Problem is that it does capture the info bar on bottom and the control bar on top, unless you go full screen and know your keyboard layouts. I capture at 30FPS cause i do all my final render in 720 and there's no need for capturing at 60 FPS (which....the video can get glitchy cause though it tries is bounces between 45-59 fps on my comp trying to capture to a different 3gbs 10k raptor hard drive) i'm sure i could get silky smooth on an SSD (which i'm bout to sell a kidney for , i want one so bad). 720 is more then acceptable for Youtube. Now the files can get huge depending on howmuch footage you capture at one, for example i snagged a 5 lap segment from street stock last night that was almost 5 minutes in duration and that file size it self was 28 GIG..all told everything i captured was over 280GIG worth of raw footage. You obvious can't upload that to YouTube. 1 to 2 gig is your max depending on your account. Windows has a free movie maker program built into if you don't have one, but it has or tendacy to stutter with larger avi files i found. Best to ..um....source a good video editing program...for the casual user i suggest the Sony movie studio or others. Worse case scenario find a free video converter program , such as xilisoft and convert your large avi's to wmv's, you'll lose quality but you'll get small enough for upload. Most free progs only supports file sizes of like 3 gig or 30 sec clips for converting though , so look around. Don't waste you time or resources using the in game video creator...takes too long for subpar quality. Any other questions , just ask. Be glad to help  |

I have an awesome video conversion program if you are interested. Very small program that will convert to virtually any format. I use it when doing the qualifying videos to reduce the size, but doesn't lose much quality. For example, the video in FRAPs went from 2 gig to about 80mb. Much quicker to upload to YouTube obviously. PM me if you are interested.

The videos are primarily for me. I don't plan to upload them YouTube and I want to share them I will just put them on my server. I have Adobe Premiere so for small videos like these and some mild editing it will be akin to hitting a fly with a semi-truck. I also have another movie editor that is newer and I may try that too.
