Do they have to be converted into video file formats for them to be uploaded for YT? What format is optimal? Are they easily converted or do I need a specific application?

This is how I've been doing it (for reference in case anyone else reads this thread):

1) Download LoLReplay (free)
2) Obtain a full version of FRAPS (whatever means you choose)
3) Download Xvid Video Codec (free. This is for allowance of good compressing later - a 3 minute raw video from Fraps can be up to 2.5GBs in size)
4) Download Virtual Dub (free. This allows you to convert it to an .avi file that is small enough for YouTube)
5) Find a game that had something memorable that you wish to put into a video (say for example you got a Pentakill as... Karma or something)
4) Turn Fraps on and enter the recorded game through LoLReplay.
5) Press F9 when you want to start recording on Fraps, and F9 to stop. You can turn the recording on and off as many times as you like. Press the "+" button on the numpad to skip 10 second blocks.
6) Exit LoLReplay (alt+F4)
7) Open Virtual Dub
8) Open the video you want to compress (navigate to your Fraps folder and find one entitled "Videos". If you've chosen to record a whole lot of video time, it will be broken up into lots of pieces - generally around 2GBs each)
9) If you have a whole lot of pieces that you want in the same video, go to File > Append Avi Segment and attach more videos that way
10) Video > Filters > Compression > Xvid MPEG-4 Codec (the files we installed in step 3) > OK
11) File > Save as Avi. Depending on how long the video is, the compression may take a while. For a 3 minute video the compression on my laptop took about 30 minutes.
12) Navigate to your Fraps folder > Videos > Watch the finished product that you've given an appropriate title so it's easy to find (ie: PENTAKILL KARMA). If it's satisfactory > Delete the bigger video files you have just compressed into one video.
13) Upload compressed file to YouTube. Depending on your internet speed and the length of the video, this could take a lot of time. For a 3 minute video at 100kBs, it took 80 minutes to upload.
14) Copy the URL and embed it in your guide on MobaFire.

I hope that answers your question?

I prefer to do it with XSplit, I'm just too lazy to explain :P

Get LoLReplay, when you are done playing and want to record something (I had a penta with Caitlyn a few weeks ago :D) make sure XSplit is ready to record, get LoLReplay towards the time it happened, and turn XSplit on. Click Broadcast -> Local Recording, and turn it off once you are done. Save, and then upload to youtube in some way, I haven't figured that out yet XD

I have a rather interesting question: How the heck to I get the video controls to work? I've looked them up in LoLReplay's settings, but once I start watching a replay, none of them do anything.
