You see, Fraps doesn't compress your clips, which is why it's so huge. <_<

(I'm surprised so many people don't know this.)

I doubt any third-party video recording programs compress clips, so you're better off with Fraps, then compressing the clips with something else.

You open the file in Movie Maker... put it in the timeline. Then you go to File > Save Movie File > My Computer > Enter movie name and designated foler > Best fit to file size: 500KB. However, you'd never want to make the file size that small because chances are that your movie quality will turn into wet toilet paper. I'd recommend choosing "Other Settings: Video for local playback (2.1 Mbps). That usually compresses to a low file size, and still keeps the quality pretty good.
