I'm trying to make a movie of any game on VBA but first i want to be able to also upload this on youtube, one low quality without sound and one nearly perfect. Right now i'm just having trouble doing low quality without sound. For some reason fraps does not pick up game play from VBA so that's out of the question. The movie recording that the emulator has available is below average and i have no idea how to compress it to make it less than 100MB since youtube only allows 100MB. The movie isn't even that long, well... just a test anyway. It's less than 5 mins and it's more than 400MB too. There are many examples all of the place on youtube with people uploading their gameplays but i just don't know how to do it. Anyone care to help?

Use a program like mencoder or VirtualDub to re-encode the file. Resizing the avi and compressing it with a better codec will cut the size to a fraction.

You have to change the encoder settings that VBA offers, not use the default. Or you could just let VBA output, then reencode it using VirtualDub.
