Is there any other free software for this than Fraps? I think its pretty ridiculous that a 30-sec video is 400mb-fat.

No, any video capture will be that high. That video is raw, uncompressed video. You need to compress the video with a codec like Divx, WMV, Xvid, etc. That 400mb video will be about 5mb. ;)

Here are some videos I have made. When they were in their original form, they were like 2gb, but after compression, they were around 20mb. :) http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5161818521854473090&hl=en http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7616225989999717272&hl=en

You gotta use Virtualdub with those vids to make them smaller, or even the crappy built-in Windows Movie Maker... There's also Gamecam but it isn't freeware. It can record for several minutes but with no sound - If you want sound you gotta pay.

    Are you using Sonic Free Vegas to compress your videos? Could you tell me how to compress my videos? Is there an online FAQ somewhere?

You basically drag and drop the video into the work area, wait for it to read everything, then click "Render As" and choose all of your video settings. Usually Windows Media 8 or Windows Media 9, 1mb per second, etc. Just play around with it. :)
