I was trying to compress a Minecraft video I recorded with Fraps (60 FPS, full-size) with the "Microsoft Video 1" codec. The file size is 14.7 GB. I am using the 32-bit version of VirtualDub. I tried the 64-bit version, but it didn't solve my problem.

How do I fix this error?

If the problem is 'My file is huge' then it because you're using a codec that dates back to Widows 95
You'd be better off using x264vfw or XVid

x264vfw
http://sourceforge.net/projects/x264vfw/files/

xvid
http://www.xvid.org/
although I prefer this version "Xvid 1.3.2 x86 / x64 MTK & DivX profiles" as it has better options
http://www.xvidvideo.ru/xvid-video-codec/x...le-release.html

Basic x264vfw settings can be found here

x264vfw is a more modern codec - smaller files for same quality, slower encode
xvid is a bit older - larger files, faster, less cpu to playback than x264

For the record, error -7 means the frame size isn't supported... but yeah, don't use Microsoft Video 1. It's probably even worse than FRAPS' own codec.
