Hey guys,

Ive very recently got into recording games with Fraps to keep for myself and friends but also to upload to Youtube.

First of all, is there a better alternative to Fraps? Not that Fraps isnt awesome but just interested to know of any other programs, my main concern is file size during encoding as Fraps dosent seem to affect my FPS 'too' much on my system when recording but the video file sizes are huge. Full res avi video, 30 seconds long is over 1gig!

Secondly, I want to go one step further and edit my videos by choosing clips, adding video transistions, adding text, adding audio/music etc to make it a bit more 'fancy'. Anyone recommend a 'user friendly', simple, non professional program to do this? I have been using Windows Movie Maker but again, wanted to see what alternatives there are.

Any advice would be much appreciated. :D
