Hey, i've recently started pondering doing video recording, and have taken a few recordings using fraps, however the file size is considerably larger than what i see posted here. My one minute video is just over a gig, where as several i downloaded can use half that and stretch it out for 10-15 minutes.
I have tried changing frame rate and resolution (rather haphazardly) and it still seems quite a bit larger than what is posted here. I was wondering what programs you (video makers) usually use, what file type you record in, and if there is any post recording compression that you use. Once i figure this out i can follow the path laid out in the stickies to editing and uploading greatness.
Thanks for the help,

The final result is much smaller because of the compression when you encode/render the compiled video in a movie editor like vegas or Premiere. After those are done, you can further compress it if you want, using a stand alone encoder like winnydows. When done right, you can get about 200mb/10 min and still have good quality.
It all comes down to how much quality you want to lose from the original footage. That said tho, do not gimp the original footage, stay with ful size and around 30 fps recordings. You can make a size smaller by decreasing the quality, you can NOT improve the quality of your footage, so save as good as you can. Makes it easier for you to work with it and manipulate it after your needs.

When fraps records it simply takes a nearly uncompresssed vidoe of what you are recording, this can mean you can easily fill up your hard drive with very little recording. I would advise to get a large hard drive to store the recording that fraps make. I would also adivse you record at the largest resolution you can and keep it at 30fps to ensure that when it is re-encoded you can output at the alrgest resolution possible.
Once you have recorded all the material you want you have to use a program to compress and edit all the videos together. Programs like Sony Vegas, After Effects, Vitual Dub etc. I would not advise you to use movie maker since it can be limited to 640x480 output and many videos are 1280x720.
It would be too long for me to explain what you need to do to convert the videos for release but there are plenty of tutorials out there. ------------------------------------- Read my bio ingame for tips on how to live and not be called nasty names by me. |

Originally by: Dimitryy I was wondering what programs you (video makers) usually use, what file type you record in, and if there is any post recording compression that you use.
Sony Vegas Professional Adobe Premiere Professional Windows Movie Maker
Fraps AVI
MKV, DivX, QT, WMV - anything from 2,000 kb/s to 7,500 kb/s depending on format, resolution and additional media.

this is too simple! u selct ur input file! u set it to 100% quality! u press "add job" then u press "start job" and ur 1giga file will become a 50MB xvid file! with no resolution crop.
the smart thing is to do this before u start editing cos handling those giant files is a strain.
for editing i would suggest windows moviemaker or vegas
ps about moviemaker and 640@480! u can download soemthing called windows media encoder from microsoft! it lets u select output res in moviemaker

Edited by: Halsoy on 05/07/2009 14:55:55 I wouldn't compress the original file before getting it in a video editor, as that tend to slow the render down by alot. I've tried this several times, and at one movie, it took me longer to render 3 min with pre-compressed footage than it took the 27 min before it.

Thank you very much for the responses, this is exactly what i was looking for. The links and info in here should be plenty to get me started, i'll keep recording in full quality, maybe get an external hard drive if i need to.
Thanks for the help,
