So recording videos with Fraps seemed to be fine in XI, but a 2 minute video on XIV was 1.3GB. Any way to reduce the file size it initially records to other than selecting "half size"?

Let me know if you find out, I did a 30 sec video and I think it was like 6GB.

Could always zip it.

What happens when video is recorded on lower gfx settings?

*I may not know what I am talking about at all, just thinking out loud...

Murph, best I've been able to do so far is record the huge raw file, then convert it to .wmv in Windows Movie Maker, then delete the raw file. Took a 1.3GB movie to 30MB, still decent quality.

Raw video footage is always huge. A computer doesnt have time to encode the file while you're recording it live, so it saves it in the quickest way possible. In worst cases this is raw, and will basically be the same as a bitmap file for every single frame 30+ times per second.

30 minutes of footage can easily run you a 10-20GB file, depending on the resolution of it. You're expected to encode it later.

There are ways to encode something while it's being recorded live, but this requires a heck lot of CPU power, which isn't something you can spare while you have a game running.
