To YouTube it does not make a difference whether you use 30.000 fps or 29.97.

SmoothLevels() will give visually nicer results than Levels() but whether or not you can see it depends on the video. If there are lots of fine dark shadings, Levels will most likely give visibly inferior results compared to SmoothLevels. I'd go for SmoothLevels, I hardly ever use Levels anymore.

Legarith is indeed not very fast. Much faster is Ut Video Codec.

By the way, if you capture in non-RGB mode in Fraps the Fraps codec will convert and downsample to (fullrange) YV12 while recording, therefore the resulting video decoded by Fraps to RGB has only a quarter the chroma resolution.
There are ways to get the raw YV12 out of a Fraps video but the major problem is Fraps uses some weird custom coefficients to convert between YUV and RGB, giving slightly wrong colors if you do not use the Fraps decoder which always decodes to RGB.
Capturing in RGB avoids all that.
