Hiae guyz, I have a silly question that I dont know how to do err... When I record a video smv to AVI it gets really high, like 1 minute of SMV recond gets 50MB of HD... then I cant post at youtube because the file is very heavy, how could I reduce this without affecting the video? I mean, which program can do it? cuz I want post on youtube u guyz know what I mean right?
My main objective here is to TAS the most obscure games titles!

You'll want to take a look at the Encoding Guide. http://tasvideos.org/EncodingGuide.html I haven't done any video encoding work, so I can't really help. Sorry.

What are you using as a video codec? By the sound of it you are using uncompressed video, which you should almost never need to do. If you're just going to upload the clip directly to YouTube, you could probably use something like ffdshow's x264 output. If you want better quality than that gives you, you could consult the Encoding Guide's video dumping section to get a good quality rip and then do a high-resolution encode - that will also tend to yield somewhat large files, but the resulting video quality after it passes through YouTube's re-encoding will be significantly better.
