Hello all I am using fraps to generate video at 30fps, the files are very large. I have been looking at programs such as handbrake and virtualdub to compress these files to smaller files while maintaining the hd quality. My question I suppose would be should I compress the video files first and then make the video on power director 11, or should I make the video on power director 11 and then compress that video using one of the other programs, before uploading the video to youtube? I am having issues with maintaining quality when compressing first, any info or help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
