It is normal for the files to be very big.

All files recorded via Fraps are to be a very big file. Reasons are basically to keep the quality of your recording and to relieve stress on the system as much as possible. This is actually apart of the Fraps FAQ found on their website. I highly suggest taking a look at that material since it does hold valuable information about what to expect and how to increase the best outcome of your video. Below is Fraps' response on your question in the quotation.

Why is the AVI movie generated by Fraps so big? How can I reduce the size?

The filesize is big because there isn’t enough time to encode the movie while the game is running. The movie frames are slightly compressed, but still require a large amount of disk space due to the high resolutions. Once you have finished capturing you should convert the saved AVI into one of the popular compressed movie formats such as mpeg or divx. Recommended programs for doing this are tmpgenc (Tsunami Mpeg Encoder), and VirtualDub.

Using VirtualDub is quite easy. To create a compressed version of the AVI follow these steps:

* Start VirtualDub
* Select File->Open and choose the AVI in the Fraps directory you wish to compress.
* Select Video->Compression and choose the codec you wish to compress with (usually divx)
* Select File->Save As AVI and specify a filename for the new AVI.

If you have Windows XP you can also use Windows Movie Maker to compress the video files. If you use Windows Movie Maker it's recommended that you keep your Fraps video files at 800x600 or under.

That's actually kind of odd, I get about 2 minutes for 630-650 MB using the same resolution, but I record 60fps.... So I don't know.

You should post and ask on the fraps website's support forums, as they can help you more than we can.
