fraps made it too dark ? or uploading it too youtube did ?
youtube (and probably many other video hosting sites) fuck around with the contrast and color ranges during the re-encode !
you could try using these parameters: -FULLSCREEN -BENCHMARK -FPS=30 -MAXQUALITYMODE -DUMPMOVIE -Resx=1920 -ResY=1080
edit: also force lossless RGB capture from Fraps
Give DxTory a go, I've been using instead of Fraps for some time now.

is "dumpmovie" the command that dumps a screenshot for every frame? in that case, is there a way to specify where it's saved? I'm running UDK on a SSD disk but i don't have the space for 30-40gb of capture.
will check out dxtory and lossless fraps. thanks!
not that I know of, everything will be stored in the UDKGame folder
DxTory worked great! no compression artifacts or anything that I could notice. thanks!
The reason fraps does what it does is because of the Codec and the way it's played back through most players. It actually has nothing to do with how it's captured 
With fraps footage if you convert it to Quicktime H.264 .mov instead of .Avi footage it shows no darkening 
Dxtory is definitely the way to go though imo 
I found that my video card was my problem when I had this happen.
For whatever reason, no matter what I did, FRAPS would record it VERY dark and I had to adjust (and ruin) my level lighting and gamma to make the level even visible.
When I got a new video card, FRAPS recorded videos that looked nearly identical to what I saw on screen.
