I have an "obtained" copy of Fraps, and I use it a tiny bit. The only problem is that the videos usually take up 1+ GBs, even if its just a minute long video. Other than that its fine. Is there any way to turn down HDD usage and not kill the quality?
P.S. I'm using 50 FPS.

Just convert it after you record it 8D

raw videos always take up a lot of space

if you compressed it on the fly you'd probably not be getting 50 FPS.

Covert the raw video into an MP4 or something, reduces size.

You're recording as raw and this takes up a huge amount of space. Video bandied about on the net is encoded/compressed to take up less space.
So as mentioned, your options are:
-encode on the fly (this may or may not tax your hardware)
-encode post-recording and delete the raw
If file sizes are still too big for your liking after this you can reduce frame rate and resolution. Either way, just like with images and audio files you will be killing some quality by not using raw but that's the price we pay. Fortunately technology allows us to kill a huge amount of file size without killing too much quality by cutting away bits we're not likely to notice missing.

Especially frame rate. The human eye only really cares for approximately 30 FPS. 50 - 60 FPS is nice for a game but for a recording you're just doubling the file size. Most anime/cartoon videos are between 23 and 28 FPS, and live action TV or movies are no more than 30 or so.

Encode to h.264 720p then delete the raw.

Not necessarily true for both frame rate's effect on file size and what the human eye cares for.

By any chance, do you know which program is best for this?

I recommend handbrake myself.

If I'm not mistaken, VirtualDub, SUPER and Handbrake are the most popular (Sony Vegas can't do h.264).
If you want a program any retard could use, try this:

Not the best quality, but it's easy as hell and gets the job done.
