DivX offers fair image quality and high compression ratios. Make certain you download the standard version of DivX; the Pro version is ~$20, and the free version of Pro is laden with spyware. The only differences between DivX Standard and DivX Pro are some additional compression options (and the Pro version for Macintosh is now bundled with an MP3 encoder).

You can also try converting your AVI videos to MPEG-1 format with TMPGEnc.

If you have any software that can run a blur filter on the clip, it can make a huge difference. Even just a slight blur, which can be very hard to notice visually can improve the compression a fair amount.

check out the free 3ivx codec, for pcs & macs. i just used it to squeeze a 1gig movie down to 27megs -- a 97.3% reduction.

get VirtualDubMod, or Vidiomi they're really good with the latest divx codecs, and open source to boot
