OBS - Open Broadcaster Software - https://obsproject.com/
(Narc and I both use this for our 'Lets Play' videos and streaming)
You can set any parameters and several container types with direct device input or desktop capture and even streaming to Twitch, Hitbox, Beam, etc.
(I would not suggest AVI's anymore though. I'd use MOV, MP4, MKV.)
Best part, it's free.

Another option would be Gameshow: http://www.gameshow.net/
An off-shoot of Wirecast that also screen captures, records and streams.
Downside, is does cost money; but it fairly inexpensive.
(I got mine on sale for $15, reg price $30)

Either gives you a far greater range of recording options and settings.
For example our VOG run for 2 hours 13 minutes was only 20GB at 1920x1080p 30fps.
You can scale that to far smaller though.
