150MB AVI file too Big!

[deepgrewal22]

What is the best way to make a 150MB AVI file smaller to about 99MB and still have it playable in Windows Media Player without having to remove any of the "scenes/frames"?

Is there a format that it can be changed to which enables better compression and will I need to purchase any software in order to do this?

Re-encode it with a different codec, assuming it's better than the one the file is encoded with already.

Xvid would be the way to go, if it's not already in XVid.

An excellent program for editing (out commercials) and compressing with Divx/Xvid/other codes is located here:
