I don't know about the PC version but for the PS2 version the segmented run took nearly 8 hours, so I don't think single segment is that great of an idea.
EDIT: and the segmented run was any%, making the 100% SS even more implausible.
This would take way too long to do SS. Not to mention how many rampages and missions you will either fail or take way too long to complete based on bad luck.
Man, I can't believe to 100% SS is possible. This game is too complex for that. Btw, if you begin this, you will no eat, piss, or sleep for long time, else we will see hours in your run the same picture, when the character not moves.
im already sick of doing gta3 story ss, all i can say is hf and i hope youre not trying to do it w/o any deaths/failed missions cause staying concentrated for hours w/o a break is an extremely hard task
oh and, i hope you live alone, cause whenever im running gta3 someone comes to my room and talks to me, or friends are calling etc, the only good time to speedrun is late in the night for me
SS wouldn't happen, impossible. Segmented, would be really, really long, I predict mid 20 hours AT LEAST. Good luck to him, should he go through with this, though I predict insanity around 40% complete.

ill need to piss,but that only takes 2x1 minutes and food..maybe eat and play at same time

A game this big would take a week or two to plan a 100% run.
ill plan more than 1 or 2 weeks so i can get mostly tags/jumps/photos/oysters while im on mission.
He'll upload it on archive as i said.. But it will be like 3 segments maybe cause.. Fraps takes to mouch place
You do realize that raw FRAPS outputs at a humongous rate, right? Something like 4GB for every ~10 minutes at 25fps uncompressed? A 10 hour run, SS, would require ~240GB of free space, not to mention the system capability of recording raw output for 10 hours straight. I don't think you've thought this through.

thats what i meant with "compression problems" on third post
Edit: maybe could use vnc not vlc, vnc and compress it on my other computer while playing since fraps creates a new file after 10gb that way i could play and compress on same time
You can't compress on the fly because FRAPS doesn't like it when you touch a file it has created while it is still creating it. Even when it moves on to making the next file portion of the recording, it will still give you error messages and crashing problems when you try to open the earlier portions.

your sure?, if yes thats not a good thing
also ill upload an video of what i have done soon.
Im 95% sure, yes. This is because, when starting over a segment for the nth time, you tend to get in to the habit of "stop recording, replace save files, delete avi file, start again." However, when you forget to stop recording, FRAPS will either deny you access to the avi (no matter which portion of it), or it will crash and need to be restarted.
At half-size, fraps will record 18 minutes per 4gb. So, a ten hour run is roughly 120GB, and on a 160GB drive, well, there's obviously more room. But this run would still take upwards of 20 hours, and I greatly insist on making it segmented. The 100% Walkthrough on GameFAQS for the PC version is a great guide to follow, and if I did a 100% run I would follow it. Good luck to you, again, regardless.
