I currently am using Fraps to record my gameplay in Thief 2. Unfortunately, just 4 minutes of recording is 3.95 gigs.
Wow! That can add up fast.
Luckily, I found a workaround. Ultra Video Converter will convert the avi's to many different formats. I convert to flv, bringing the 3.95 gig file down to around 42 megabytes.
Are there better gameplay recorders? or is Fraps about the best?

Buy an external hard drive and set the program to record to the drive. At that rate, 2 TB could hold over 33 hours. Look for BF sales, aim for $0.03/GB.

Fraps imo is the best option for recording raw game video. I think most programs that record gameplay will typically do just that, and then you'll need a separate program for compressing and other post processing features. For that stuff, I use Windows Movie Maker.

Thanx, guys!
I am unfamiliar with BF, what is that?

The ultra video converter does work great though. I have managed to convert over 200 gigabytes to a little over 2.3 gigabytes, and I really can't tell that I lost anything graphics wise.
I'd say that is good.
