Gaming RemoteJoyLite recording and testing

[BasedKiliK]

So, I decided to start making videos and runs of various games, more for my own enjoyment than others. Too much free time. Anyway, I'm wondering what the greatest way to increase the quality of the video would be? Currently I'm recording the streamed video from RemoteJoyLite 0.20a through FRAPS (audio through microphone), then using Sony Vegas to render the 480x272 resolution of the video into 852x480 or higher, in hopes of preventing youtube from decreasing the quality. Now, is there a better or more efficient way to do this, or am I fine with my current method?

Here's my first video done with this method, rendered at 480p.
