Fraps makes large size as it records at high res. Actually most screen recorder will make high size after recording at high res.

Just convert recorded vid to lower resolution using a video converter to reduce size :wink:
Fraps records to .avi so convert the vids to mp4 to optimise size further :D

BB Flash Back Screen Recorder available in 3 version you can choose versions depends on you need.

after creating the video you can use Any Video Converter to convert your video to different format.

use Virtual Dub to convert the avi files & choose encoder as Xvid much better than x264 :grin:

Convert vids to MP4 format.
Do you want to upload to Youtube? Then convert to 320x240 to keep the file size in check.

My Screen Recorder is one of the best screen recording tools. Records the screen and audio from the speakers or your voice from the microphone - or both simultaneously. It's easy to use, and records directly to standard AVI or WMV format files that look great on YouTube. Perfect for tutorials and demos. Download here: Screen Recording Software: My Screen Recorder
