Hi^^ anyways, im doing a movie for french class and im using various clips from anime dvds I have. I used fraps to record them and use Microsoft Movie Maker to make the movie. My question is:
Can Fraps vidoes be recorded into a CDR disc to take to school? I tried to already, but when I got to school all there was in th disc was the various clips but the movies would not run. Media player popped up but nothing came on and there was a error. I tried installing Codec stuff but that didnt help. I was wondering if frap videos are recordable.

no, just normal codec that I googled.
How do I convert into a mpeg? im sorry, I dont know much about it.

Fraps uses its own AVI codec, so if you install Fraps on your school computer it will play it.

Why is the AVI movie generated by Fraps so big? How can I reduce the size?
The filesize is big because there isn’t enough time to encode the movie while the game is running. The movie frames are slightly compressed, but still require a large amount of disk space due to the high resolutions. Once you have finished capturing you should convert the saved AVI into one of the popular compressed movie formats such as mpeg or divx. Recommended programs for doing this are tmpgenc (Tsunami Mpeg Encoder), and VirtualDub.
Using VirtualDub is quite easy. To create a compressed version of the AVI follow these steps:
• Start VirtualDub
• Select File->Open and choose the AVI in the Fraps directory you wish to compress.
• Select Video->Compression and choose the codec you wish to compress with (usually divx)
• Select File->Save As AVI and specify a filename for the new AVI.
If you have Windows XP you can also use Windows Movie Maker to compress the video files. If you use Windows Movie Maker it's recommended that you keep your Fraps video files at 800x600 or under.
