fraps 30 second video = 1 gb
- Thread starter DarkTears
- Start date
I was going to record a scenario from a game that i play called (warhammer) The scenario is 15 minutes long.
So let me do some math.
30 seconds = 1gb
1 minutes = 2 gb
So that means 15 minutes would be 30 gigs? wtf

This is what hard drives are for! 
Depending on the scene captured, 15 Mins can be more than 30GB.
My standard Half Size 30FPS Burnout Paradise Vids (1h - 1.5h) are between 200 & 300GB, They of course can be deleted once you re-render the files and compress them down. Movie maker will do it, although it takes a few decades to get the job done being Single Threaded

What do you mean "being single threaded"?
I currently have a 1TB drive but i dont want to fill it up with uncompressed video. I want to learn how to edit videos and learn to use 3d Studio max and stuff. I think im going to buy another HDD and put it in just for videos i guess. Which is awesome because it will give me a reason to open my case again. Since i built this computer myself i love looking inside of it and stuff lol. Sad but true.

What I usually do with Fraps and Warhammer, is just record certain sections, then edit them all together.
But i wanted to record the whole thing just in case somethign awesome happens.
