Video conversion Apps
Apps like FRAPS can sometimes record video in a lossless quality that takes up a huge amount of space on your hard drive when it doesn’t even need to be half as big. In this case, software like HandBrake saves the day with the ability to transcode the video into a lossy but still high quality format that features a much smaller file size with minimal to no loss in video or audio quality.
