Hi
So I want to play games and record them to post online. I really want to do that with Minecarft but the problem is that when I record i get low framerate so my videos look like shit. I am using Fraps so it also use alot of space! Help me to improve my videos!

download and run speccy, provide your specs
do you mean the videos stored by FRAPS takes alot of space or FRAPS itself takes alot of space
low framerates where? In the video only or when your playing Minecraft (in game) and recording at the same time?
Download and run MSI Afterburner, check your temps and FPS with it, what are you getting in normal play as compared when recording with dxtory or FRAPS?

Thanks for replay!
Every game i record i am getting low framerate and it's about when not recording 20 or 30 fps depends what game am i playing. Minecraft without recording up to 50 fps. Videos that are stored take like 60 mb for 15 sec of video!

First off YES that is accurate for video recording WHILE playing, normally half the speed unless you have a beefier system (download and run SPECCY to provide your system specs). As for the 'size' of the video (nothing really to do with FPS of the the video) that is normal for video uncompressed. If you wish to do video editing (compression and so on) there are many tutorials, but they do require quite the technical background, and if so far what I said is 'over your head' your best bet would be to then research how others do it, and emulate the exact same setup they have (new computer, new software, etc.) to do that. Otherwise you will be way over confused by the seriously technical aspect of all this.

Recording video is pretty CPU intensive because the video must be encoded which also helps reduce file size. A quad core CPU is generally recommended because 2 cores can be devoted to the game and 2 cores can be devoted to encode the video; use Windows Task Manager to do so.

60MB for 15 seconds of video tells me you are not setting up the recording parameters properly. I do not record games so I can't tell you where to go in FRAPS to fix that issue. The size is dictated by the BPS (bits per second). The higher the BPS, the higher the quality, but it also results in larger files.

You can go to Fraps Forum for specific help.
