Recording with Camstudio, editing with MS Movie Maker, publish to YouTube

Here are the settings I prefer.

CamStudio (v2)

Set Fixed Region to a 16:9 Fixed size - e.g. 1024x576  (or if you need larger use 1280x720
Use CamStudio Video Lossless Compression and best compression + auto adjust

MS MovieMaker

Use K-Lite Codec MegaPack - see external links page for download link. You can then directly use the Lossless compression AVIs in MovieMaker

To publish to YouTube

Configure MovieMaker for 16:9 format
Accept the 'recommended' resolution option. This is usually 1280x720 or 1920x1080 if you used the 1280x720 to record with). If in doubt always accept the recommended resolution.
