Compressing Fraps movies

[O Ilusionista]

While Fraps is one of the best tools to record gameplay, it has a big problem: it makes just HUGE files.

For example, some minutes in Bandicam turns into a +-4mb file, while Fraps file has +-60mb.
Plus, there are another downsize: Frap's videos can't be opened by many of the video converters and the ones which can opens it..simple screws it up.

After some research, I found a good solution: Freemake Video Converter

Here is how I did:

- click "+video" and choose your file (no kidding)
- click "TO AVI" button
- click on the blue gear "edit preset"

- Modify the values to those:

On my tests, it converted a 70mb fraps video into a 4,86mb, which a very nice quality.

Thanks Naota, I finally was able to convert it.
And I got what is wrong: the resolution. To work well in youtube, you need to convert the video from 480x272 to 640x360
