Compressing video recording from FRAPS

I only recorded a 21 minutes TDM as a trial, and the file was fracking 41GB. I have a 2 TB hard drive that only used 25% but even that wouldn't last a battleday of footage.
So, how do you compress those videos? I tried using Windows Movie Maker and when I try to export a video it just won't do it. And when I finally did it via export video for computer it was at most a 480p video.
Please help this noob, and thank you ahead of time.
P.S. I am probably still going to buy a TB size removeable hard drive to keep up the pace.

Well, I know you tried WMM, and I don't know why it's not working for you.
My windows movie maker 2.6 works perfect.
Have you tried these options?
1)Options > Advanced > PAL 16:9
And then when "save to my computer" in "Other settings" you need: High quality video (large)
So below in Setting details it would show:
WMV
Variable bit rate
856x480
16:9
25
Just give it a chance again, I think it's pretty simple to use, ofc you need to render it again with something like Vegas, but this takes files from 30GB to 400MB.

FRAPS is known to do that. If you want you can use something else like the MSI Afterburner, Playclaw (w/ awesome TS3 overlay), DXtory.

Ummmm. I don't think I could use it because I now have a 32bit windows 7. Unless I get a update somewhere, and the WMM I got is for sure not WMM 2.6. I couldn't change like ANY settings....ARG.
I found a custom setting and this is what default is W1280 H 720 Bit rate 8000. Frame rate: 29.97(It should be 30 right?)
and audio format: 128 kbps, 48kHz, stereo.

Mmm, it should work, not sure about the bit rate to, because for rendering in 720p you want something around 10k and 15k.
But give it a try, this is all like that, try fail, try again.
