yeah same thing here, thats just the fraps video form, like the files in the fraps movie folder? well all u need to do is get it in wmm add in the stuff u want, then save it to your comp, it will instead of being .avi format, it should be .wmv, so now it should be smaller, mb wise or kb wise..

all u need to do is open wmm, add in music and stuff, then save it to your comp, then it should be smaller, either mb or kb wise depending on length

A 28 second wmv file should be around 10 megabites.

??? WTF ????? no it shouldnt, at least 2 megs, cause i made a minute long trailer and it was well over 1 meg, 28 seconds, at least in the kb range......

When you say meg, do you mean gig? Did you make this "1 meg" file with fraps? You might have confusion with file sizes.

recording sound makes the files quite a bit bigger than only video recordings.

Not even a 28 second wmv is less than 2 megabites, you must be mistaken.
