You also want to avoid wmv pretty much, it's not very good unless you use windows movie maker which is really easy to use, but not very powerful. You want to encode in divx or xvid, xvid being free, they're the most recognized format while still offering good compression and decent quality.
If you're a bit more elitist, you can encode in mp4, it'll cut size by almost half for the same quality, but sadly unless people use an integrated player(like VLC) or have mp4 decoding codecs installed, they won't be able to play it, and for most of the people that don't watch series or animes, they won't.
Googling encoding tutorials will help too, there's like a ton of them, and quite a lot are very good even tho not directly fraps/wow related. Add to that a Vegas tutorial and you're set.
