Does anyone know a recording software that takes up less space on hard-drive because I currently use Fraps and 20 min recording takes up like 100gb of space. Does anyone know any other program that can take up less space?
Bandicam. The recordings are much smaller, though it depends which codec you use.
I still feel that Frap's records are much better quality. And it seems that the OP has already purchased Fraps, so lets make use of that shall we? Bandicam is free to start with, but without premium it just looks unprofessional.
There's a workaround, I used HandBrake to transcode my Fraps videos before uploading them to Youtube. The file sizes are generally a lot smaller in size.

What I did here was basically re-encoding my fraps video with x264 codecs. If the you're more concerned with controlling the quality of the final video than you are with controlling its exact size, then find the RF value (under "Contant Quality") that looks good to you and fits within any file size constraints you might have. Even very low RF values, which result in very high image quality and very large video files, will still produce smaller videos than the nearly uncompressed format Fraps uses. RF0=Lossless

Yeah, when I used Fraps I compressed them too. It would be ridiculous to upload a 100GB file.
The other reason I use Bandicam is because I can get it to split the game audio and my mic into two channels, which makes editing it much easier. Before I had to use Audacity to record my mic separately, which led to video/audio sync issues and was kind of annoying to do.
EDIT: Here is my most recent BF3 video using the stuff I mentioned:
Hmm, I will use DXtory, becuase it's the same quality as Fraps, but it gives you much higher FPS.
I don't mind DXtory. I tried the demo and it pretty much did the same as Fraps. I don't know if it improved my FPS. I don't really care though. Even with Fraps recording the full lossless 1080P file I still get 100+ while recording MC.
Does DXtory record desktop too? I know that when I edit the video and render it. It will become smaller ,but If I want to record multiple videos at once it will take up a lot of space. I am also planning to get another hard-drive soon too.
I use Open Broadcasting Software. I recorded Advanced warfare with a bit rate of 10,000 and audio of 128. I also had my quality turned all the way up using 1080p. My out come was 10 minutes, 780 megabytes. I suggest using this, but it is a bit complex.

Try this game recording software, it compresses the video while recording, it takes very less pace comparing with Fraps.
