Help with recording settings?

[jtpetch]

I know this is probably the billionth of this kind of question, but I need help with settings for recording my games with Dxtory. Most of the games I play will run at a steady 50-60 fps, and I intend to record at that framerate as well, if that would be best. I don't really know what to do with any other settings, such as codec (though I installed the lagarith lossless codec), clipping, etc. Dxtory clocked my hard drive (non-ssd) at 174 mbps, and I record and play to the same hard drive (I know, I know). I've got 8 gigs of ram, and an AMD Fx-6300 cpu. My harddrive is 1 terabyte, and I have pretty fast internet (25 mbps down, 8-10 mbps up), but I don't really want 10 gb, 15 minute videos
So, for anyone with experience with Dxtory, can you help me?
Thanks!
(Game i'll most often record will be Minecraft)

id try this codec it compresses more than lagarith - http/www.fox-magic.com/download/fmvc_setup.zip
note it isnt as compatible as lagarith when it comes to putting your videos in an editor just as a heads up.

Will it work with Windows Movie Maker for Windows 8.1? I use that to edit
