Neb,

first what version u have for Fraps.
and second how decent is ur pc?

For recording u want to make sure ur FPS is about 30-60 nothing higher or lower and well the rest depends on how ur fraps is ... or well i will have to look at mine again and such but mainly u would have to work on the vid after recorded so that way u can edit all the "misc" stuff out or u can throw it up.

Now you can throw it up on youtube or even u might be able to throw it up on justin.tv..

I will post a "how to" after i look back into it as right now i am using the software that is mainly for justin.tv to save my vids

Win7
AMD Phenom II 940 BE @ 3.2ghz
8 gig ram ddr2
should be enough to record

fraps version is 2.9.8 build 7777
i actually recorded at 30fps, like my WoW is set to at max for MB

Ok with fraps u can only record one game as far as i can tell so ur main would have to be the main thing and when and after recorded u would hit up the folder where it saves the files then make sure there small enough to hit up on youtube .... *sry falling asleep*

I would say its close to imposible to directly upload frapsed material on youtube. I fraps at 25fps 1280x1024 (with sound), and a 5 min bossfight generates ~4Gb of avi-data.
You need a program to compress the data somehow. Personally I use Sony Vegas and create .wmv files. You can easely compress the 4Gb avi-file to a ~300Mb Wmv-file that still has a very good quality (still 1280x1024 @25 fps inc sound).

Probably you can find some chaper software as well that you do the trick (besid Sony Vegas that is).

You can use Windows Movie Maker to put it all together, and add a title and whatnot. Sony Vegas is a lot better, but WMM gets you by =D

Wheres the best place to get music, or sound for videos?

I tried making a video but youtube wouldn't let the sound play, since it was copyrighted.

I tried using the free versions of fraps and Hyper Cam. I liked hyper cam better. /shrug

Then I used windows movie maker.

You can add music directly in the youtube interface ... they have a hole bunch of songs to choose from.
