Degsy,
I'm confused by your response. Maybe I need to outline the process I use and then you can see if there are differences to how you do it.
Not knowing much about Fraps, I just installed it and set it to record the full size window at 25fps (for me full size is about 1024 x768 - not exact since FS2004 is used in a window on a dual monitor setup).
That recording produces an AVI file of around 300Mb for 30 seconds.
I load that file into VDub where I select the video compression codec (Xvid, defaults), audio compression codec (Lame MP3, 192 kbps CBR) and video filter (Resize 640 x 480, precise bicubic). Then I save it to my final AVI.
So compression and resize (if any) are all done on the same pass using the original 300 Mb AVI file.
I still feel that the key is a large Fraps file to work with. That is what my VDub screen shot is showing: the number of frames and frame rate.
What does File Information show for your Fraps file?
Ian
