Windows Movie Maker, not Media Player

doh ! you caught it lol i sure didnt radomizer rofl!!

but yes Windows Movie Maker is what you want to use for this procedure .

once you have it open drag your frap file into it.

then go to left side and look for save to: and make sure it is to this computer

then i use what ever it has there which will be fine for settings.

since like i said that video i posted started out @1.69gigb frap file and after WMM got done with it. it was a 29.1mb WM file so yeah that is a huge difference in size i would say.

Just be careful with aspect ratios. WMM can't save widescreen (16:9) videos while using square pixels, and instead uses rectangular pixels. This is because it is designed for saving in an anamorphic widescreen DVD format. Both NTSC and PAL use differently shaped rectangular pixels. Youtube only works with square pixels, so uploading anamorphic widescreen video will result in it being squished into a 4:3 box. You'll get everything looking tall and thin.

and yes what radomizer said about fraps is true what ever you set it to record at it will run at. but some game just dont like it at all let me tell ya!

and fraps just kick out a new version i got the email for it to. it is posted in the correct section with link check it out!!

Edit:
just got the new FRAPS 2.9.9 in and there is some new stuff in there and wow!

ok i use WMM to do my FRAPS videos and all i do is put the frap video into WMM and then click on save to my pc. then i use all of the default settings for WMM and i just did a video of COD WAW zombie. it had no legs and was chasing us around it was the last 1 to before the round end.

i have a 1.69 gig video that got shrunk down to 29.1mb so yeah it is nice. but i also dont add any music or do any editing to my videos either. but im a noob when it comes to that stuff. beside i dont have any music anymore since it is on my old back drive that need $900 to get the info off of.

Scavy~

Nice VID!! Love that Nazi Zombie Action!! See a lot of those No legs Crawling Zombies in Stubbs too, it's funny a Hell, well Stubbs is a Comedy Zombie Game, so just about all of it is pretty Damn Funny o me!!

ROLOL!!

Ok, rather than Handbrake I tried SUPER which can also to H.264. However, it isn't as well multithreaded and I don't think it does 2-pass. It also doesn't let you specify a target file size for output and IMO the interface is horrible. The upside is that it works fine with FRAPS-recorded videos with no intermediate conversion. Below is an example of why H.264 is so good. The video is only 50MB from an original file size of 3.31GB. Basic information is as follows:

Original
Framerate: 40FPS
Frame size: 1680x1050
Video bitrate: 845308kbps
Audio bitrate: 1411kbps
File Size: 3.31GB

Encoded using H.264
Framerate: 29.97FPS
Frame size: 1280x720 (720p)
Video bitrate: 5962kbps
Audio bitrate: 151kbps
File Size: 49.6MB

Make sure you watch it in HD or it doesn't look as good. If I uploaded a higher bitrate video it would look even better, albeit at a larger file size.
