Fraps, Make it Low File Size

T345 · 29 Apr 2012 at 18:59

I recently came across this video, you need to use virtual dub and xVID codec. I done it with a 3.7gb fraps file, now its 311mb
It actually works, gonna use this in the future

btw i'm the guy who commented,
just wanted to show the forum a useful tip
(PS: only took 10mins on the worst laptop of 2006 to do a 3.7gb file)

Re-encoding raw footage is pretty standard, anyone who uploads the raw, un-editted unencoded footage needs their head checked

Xvid is pretty old hat these days, much better to use an x264/h264 encoder.

i'll use this anyway =)

I use Handbrake to re-encode

Ok, thanks

Just testing handbreak, ill report back

I like vidcoder uses handbrake but has a different front end.

Remember, MKV is just a container!
