Compressing videos smaller using Fraps

[Stealthparanoia]

Hello Everyone, ok i ran into this problem on here that someone had and i can't seem to get these videos smaller if anything they get bigger in size example i was trying to make this 2.3gigs video to smaller but instead it got to 10gigs which i dunno how, any help would be appreciated thanks.

Very simple math governs the process: Filesize = birate * runtime.

So if you want smaller filesize, then reduce bitrate. It sounds like you are letting the program select the bitrate for you. To guarantee a particular filesize, you need to take control of the process and specify the numbers.
