Can't Compress Video File?!?!?!

[VoSpader30]

Ok, so everyone knows about youtube videos right. With BF2 movies on them and stuff. Some of them are 10+ Minutes long. Youtube has a set limit of 100MB per video, which is where my problem comes in. I recorded, just a 30 second video of me playing BF2 with FRAPS, but when I looked at file, it was 225MB, almost 1/4 a GB. So I tried to compress the file by doing these three things, all of which failed.

1. Right click/compress and email/Compressed to 205MB (only 20mb drop)
2. Right click/compress to "BF2 2007-06-16 13-20-06-95.rar" and email/ 205MB
3. Right Click/Send to/ Compressed (zipped) folder/ also 205MB

So my question is, how do people with 10 minute videos get the video compressed to less than 100MB using FRAPS? Thanks

VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.

That will do what you want. I compressed a 400 mb FRAPS video down to 9 mb.
