Well to give you a hand with the Fraps size there are a couple things to note. For one, the initial record is going to be that size, nothing can be done about that. Fraps pulls the video in a very close to RAW video form. Reason for this is it will slow your PC down to almost a crawl if it tried to do heavy duty on the fly encoding.
Here are some suggestions to "ease the pain".
1) After you have obtained your fraps for the night, you can compress the raw video to the format of your choice and delete the "raw" footage.
2) If your PC can handle full frame, record at that. There really isn't that much of a size difference between 1/2 and full.
3) Even though working with the RAW file people find more ideal, you will not notice too much of a quality degradation over encoding the video twice, plus it will make your work in Adobe that much easier, since files from fraps that are ~4gb compress down to about 150mb or so depending on your settings.
- If you need any other encoding help, just let me know.
