Record using the FRAPS file size enormous?

Asked By RuthC 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/25/2011

I record a game of modern warfare call of duty 2, using FRAPS with a format applications. 

Avi length is only 24 seconds, but why the size is too big that is 400 MB. I want to upload it to YouTube, but if the size of it with my internet connection is slow, it may be a full day.

Whereas films with a length of 30 minutes with 3gp format just are not up to 30 MB big, how do I shrink or compress to her?

Hello ,

Its Because its a pure raw AVI file. Fraps uses what is known as 'wide-bits' – which take up approximately twice as much space as normal bits.

You need use video compressing software that supports AVI to compress the video file to minimize the size.  You can always use Windows Movie Maker to compress those files just follow this tutorial

Also there are free video compressing tools available in the internet the most popular one is VirtualDub.

Note:Compressing Files Reduces quality, But don't be afraid its not that noticeable.
