Hi everybody hope you're all doing well,

I just purchased Mirillis' Action! game capture software and recorded 27 minute's worth of footage on Bioshock Infinite. I checked the file size and it's a whopping 10GB file. Is that normal for HD gameplay footage? (by the way im playing it on PC on ultra settings.)

I previously used FRAPS and although it was good, the file size was way too big, bigger than Action!

Even still, 10GB is quite large and I'm uploading it to youtube right now but it's taking quite a long time.
 
Solution
use a avi video editor. change the video from a standard avi to a dvix file or mp4 file. you lose some of the bling of the uncompress file but you can shrink it down to 700m file or smaller.
