Ignore what AntoPISA said. Just use MAME's built in AVI-writing functionality, -aviwrite.
It will output an uncompressed AVI, so you'll need a good bit of disk space to store the resulting videos, but you won't wind up with source material that's already had shitty compression applied to it, which will be further shitted up by YouTube.
You can also explicitly specify the desired output resolution for the AVI by using -snapsize XxY where X is the width and Y is the height. This can, for example, be used to generate HD-resolution footage that has been upscaled using nearest-neighbor, which preserves crisp pixel edges when uploading to YouTube, whereas uploading a video clip at the game's native resolution will often result in nothing more than 480p viewing being available, and the block-based compression that YouTube uses will absolutely destroy the quality of the video at that size.
Additionally, if you go AntoPISA's route, you'll wind up capturing the bilinear-upscaled output of MAME, and not the raw pixels of the game, and that looks like shit when uploaded to YouTube.
