I'm making a couple of Halo PC videos and as some of you may know. Fraps recorded files take up way more space than they should. So If you could point me in the general direction of a free/good compressor I'd be very grateful to ye.

Heyyo,

Yeah, I bet he meant a video encoder... I heard windows media player works fine.

I know Divx comes with a codec for your fav programs, so just find one you can use it with. ;)

If you search http://sourceforge.net maybe you can find one...

here ya go http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/

DivX codecs are all I use for anything.

If you meant archiver...winRAR is far better at compression than winZIP.
