Is there some program to compress AVI files?
Compress? Video and graphics files tend not to compress well at all. Are we
talking ZIP compression? Or encoding to a smaller file size?
Thanks to both. I am talking about encoding to a smaller file size. Any ideas?

mencoder would be a good program.
I would suggest first playing it with mplayer and seeing what the current
encoding is, if it is already xvid/divx/x264 encoded you won't be able to likely
improve things much without lowering the resolution or quality. x264 is
supposed to be better than xvid/divx but it is probably not a huge amount, and
re-encoding (even on a fast machine) will take anywhere from greater than actual
time of the video down to 1/4-1/5 for lower resolution videos. If it is not
already one of the good codecs then just reencoding it with the proper settings
will be able to reduce it a fair amount.
I do a fair amount of re-encoding of various sorts.
