HOLY SHIT! a 30 second video with fraps = 130+mb.... ANYONE KNOW HOW TO REDUCE IT? IM on 30 fps recording only.... this is fucking nuts
umm yes a 10 minute recording @ half size / 30 fps = 3.9GB
Tough shit, it's uncompressed. Nothing you can do if your HDD is too small.

nothing i can do??? well is there any way atall to compress it?
Yes, with various programs (e.g. Windows Media Encoder) you can reduce the size AFTER it is captured.

awesome! Thanks nessie, i did a quick test from a 34 mb video, i used windows media encoder using the options, dvd quality (2mbps) and i got 1.4MB! W000t0! the quality difference was unoticable.

It's free and you can encode and reencode until you are happy with the results.
When you use DivX or Xvid as video codec and maybe resize the video(or use half-size in Fraps in the first place) you can greatly reduce the size of the video.
make sure you untick sound that takes a bit off
you also could get a 3g converter (as in cell phone vid's) which are really small 760Mb = 80Mb
vDub for the win. Next time someone says Windows Movie Maker for any other reasons then virus fodder gets a bitchslapping.
WMM is a piece of shit, use something like VirtualDub or better yet AutoGK
uhhh, using VD to save as AVI i get a even bigger file.. wat am i doing wrong?
Use full processing mode for video and audio,select proper codecs(I'd suggest DivX and mp3) and choose a proper bitrate for the videocodec.JaMrulezass wrote:

i compress all my fraps vids using winavi converter 7.7.
its quick & very easy to use,couple of clicks & jobs done with high quality end results in either avi or wmv with pretty small file sizes.
for slapping movies together i compress the clips with winavi,then adobe premiere pro 2 for making the movie,then virtualdubmod to shave an extra few meg off the finished movie.

You open your file,choose in the videotab->FULL COMPRESSION MODE,select and configure the codec under COMPRESSION,in the audiotab you choose ->FULL COMPRESSION MODE and select and audio codec and configure it under COMPRESSION and then start the re-encoding process - tada.
When the file is bigger than your original one you made one of the typical vDub-noobs' mistake - you didn't select a codec and made a direct stream copy.
vDub is pretty easy to use,once you get the hang of it.
