So I just downloaded and started using the full version of Fraps and I have been playing around with it a bit, recording clips from Battlefield 3 and WoW but I have a couple of things I was wondering about.
First of all, being that Fraps produces uncompressed .avi files and I am recording in 1080p quality, the file sizes are huge. What are some of the best options for compression and editing out there? I would prefer a free solution, but im not adverse to buying superior software if warranted.
The second question I had was about the loop buffer length. Right now I am doing a 120 second loop, obviously dividing my video into 2 minute clips. Would it be better if I just set it to something outlandish like 600 second loop and just start and stop the video capture whenever I want? Are there any drawbacks to doing it this way?
I appreciate any input and advice you can give me!
