I really dislike Fraps. The video files are HUGE. 200MB for a 10 second video <.<

You might have set it to 60fps, the more fps, the bigger the file.

That, my dear, is a bit rediculous >:>;;

What'd you do Derrick? - points at LALALALALAA -

Anyways.

I use the trial version of fraps. I can live with a 30 second limit. What I do is a I use VirtualDub (a free program) that allows you to crop your movies. I usually crop it to cut out the user interface if I have it on when I filmed fraps, but it also works as removing the watermark at the top (just but cutting it out). So I really use two programs to make videos.

You can use Windows Movie Maker to make your movies (that's what I use). It's not the best program out there, but it's really good for starters, and it should come with your Windows when you installed it (I think? I just found it in my computer LOL).

Yeah, windows movie maker comes default.

Now, for some odd reason, I totally missed the second page of posts, LOL.

@Yosei: Change your settings. I have Full Size, 25 fps, and no sound. Currently, I vary from 150mb-180mb for a 30 second video. I believe it'd be even smaller if you chose Half Size.

Is there a way to do this so that it does not eat up all my drive space?

Buy a flashdrive? I'd get a 2gig or higher if its for videos. I use mine for all my art and pictures. But careful with them, they're easy to lose, and easy to break(the usb plug is bendable).
