I've been playing around with Fraps lately to capture video footage of my World of Warcraft gameplay. I'd love to be able to post some WoW gameplay video footage sometime in the future, but I cannot seem to find a way to compress the AVI footage into something that won't kill my bandwidth in three seconds flat.
Currently, I am using VirtualDub to compress the videos. I am thus far unimpressed. The best I've accomplished using Fraps and VirtualDub was to compress a 4 second WoW video capture to 2.86 MB. This is @ 15 FPS, and using 80% compression. It was also set to "half size", meaning the resolution was 400 x 300.
I'm a complete newbie to video editting, so I'd love to hear some input from those of you who are experienced at this sort of thing.
Here's a picture of my son playing with his Tonka dump truck (wearing his Toronto Maple Leafs jammies). He likes to ride it around like a tricycle.
