Getting the best quality video

I play WoW in a 1280x1024 resolution, and it seems all my fraps videos come out as 800x600 for some reason. My PC isn't the greatest but it's fairly new (6750 duo, 8600 512mb, 2g ram).

I've just been rendering everything to the DivX codec via the tutorial, but now that I've gotten some stellar clips I'm just worried that the quality is terrible. It looks comparable to other movies up on WCM but I just imagined I could have an awesome quality movie with my new PC. I was thinking around 5-600MB for a 30-40 min movie.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, and I'm sorry if my english is poor as it is not my first language.

Fraps can only handle a max widescreen resolution of 1280x800. Anything more and fraps will default to 'half mode'. So lower your in-game resolution.
