Hey, G2Wall here! I was just wondering if anyone knows a good way to compress Fraps video files!

I have a ton of recorded footage on my desktop, and I want to upload it, but they each take over three ours to upload!

Please help, and thank you!

An idea I have is to use a program like handbreak and change it to a different format (such as m4v or MP4) which should also make it smaller, you should use web optimized as well.

I am not sure, but I think Paul said what he uses in one of his Behind the scenes MVM videos.

This belongs the "Technical Support" section.

You should convert it to h264, it's the best video file format

Moved to technical support.

I use VirtualDub to resave the files, and the Xvid codec to compress them. They are often 7-9x smaller and exactly the same quality.

I am personaly, thanks to Paul, started using Adobe Premiere Elements 10 (I bought it) for editing and other stuff... for compression, again thanks to Paul, i am using Freemake Video Converter. Best way is to convert it to MP4 with h264 video format... From a 2GB video you can get 500MB, with not much loss of quality (unfortunately I do see less quality, I have an eye for this stuff... I can see difference with lower quality videos and also i can hear difference between bit rate of sound)

This is what I do, because there's no loss of quality.

The way i do it is convert it to .avi then use VirtualDub with the Xvid codec(google it) and then conver to mp4 it took a 6 gb file to 100mb and no quality loss

Thank you so much. I had a 4gb video, but then after I used this, it took 10 minutes to upload!
