I need a way to solve this problem, or a better way to achieve the best quality of videos for YouTube upload. I'm using Fraps to record the source format in games.
I've recently been trying to find out how to upload YouTube videos with the best kind of quality at 1080p, and found out a few sites that seem to describe bits of it:

Gathering from that, I've heard that ffmpeg seems to be the most proficient in this kind of job. Though, ffmpeg is a command-line based thing, and in relation to that, I found a command generator that autogenerates the required "code" to use ffmpeg, based on the specifications I want: [url]http://www.rodrigopolo.com/ffmpeg/[/url]
But the code I use, from the generator, doesn't work! I've been manually putting ".avi" at the end of the source format, as the generator seems to fail to do that, but even so, it fails to find the required preset.
The command I use in CMD (Windows), corrected from the generator, is:
ffmpeg -i D:\Documents\Video\Fraps\ffmpeg_converting\ffmpeg_input1.avi -s 1920x1080 -aspect 16:9 -b 3514k -bt 5324k -vcodec libx264 -pass 1 -vpre fastfirstpass -an D:\Documents\Video\Fraps\ffmpeg_converting\ffmpeg_output1.mp4 && ffmpeg -y -i D:\Documents\Video\Fraps\ffmpeg_converting\ffmpeg_input1.avi -s 1920x1080 -aspect 16:9 -b 3514k -bt 5324k -vcodec libx264 -pass 2 -vpre hq -acodec libfaac -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 128k D:\Documents\Video\Fraps\ffmpeg_converting\ffmpeg_output1.mp4
But I get this error: "File for preset 'fastfirstpass' not found"
I tried to replace 'fastfirstpass' with 'hq', but it returns the equivalent error on that too, as well if I use 'medium' or 'medium_firstpass'.
I checked my ffmpeg\presets directory, and indeed it doesn't seem to contain those formats.
Here's the folder: [IMG]http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/10/27910060958-orig.jpg[/IMG]
This is a fairly fresh ffmpeg version that I downloaded a few months ago. Does anyone know of a way to get the missing presets? Or better, does anyone know a secure, working way to achieve the kind of format conversion I need, for optimal quality on YouTube 1080p?
What I do is output from Vegas at max-batshit 50GB AVI quality, then run it through [url=http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/]Miro Video Converter[/url] to MP4 (uses ffmpeg). Spits out a very good quality file without being massive I find.

Miro is extremely simplified but I like that it gets the job done without the bullshit that other converters often give you

Here are the screenshots of normal compressed, versus YouTube quality:

Does Micro Video Converter have the ability to make higher quality than that, @smurfy?
