      Yes.The only disadvantage in FRAPS is big output file size.We need to compress it no other go.It too faced the same problem.But I found a solution for it.Download XVID codec and install.Then install virtualdub and compress the video using virtualdub with compression codec set to XVID.Believe me output is 1/10 of the original without much loss in quality .Try it and tell your feedback :)

      Steven, just run fraps,go to Movies tab on it.See the Hot key and saving location. Then run your game.You will find counter running in top on the game screen.Now press hot key F9 to start recording again press F9 to stop recording.It will be saved in the location mentioned in movies tab.
