Bad quality when exporting (Premiere 6.5)

[efish]

Hello.
I use Adobe Premiere 6.5, and I like it a lot, but I have one problem. When I export my finnished movie for example to a .avi-file the quality gets soo bad. I don't understand why, I have set the quality to best, and I don't use any kind of compressor.. And another question, why does the file-size get soo big!? Soo poor quality and soo large files! Thanks for any help.

What's the format of the video footage you are editing?

AVIs can be uncompressed, thus the large file size. Depending on your final format desired, these files can be then compressed to much more managable sizes.

I think it is usual .avi.. I have captured it from my digital camcorder.. Then, when I export my finished project to a another .avi-file I think the quality gets much worse.. Thanks for help.
