I didn't see your original post and don't know where to find it based
on the number - do you have a url or thread title? There should be an
easy fix to whatever was causing the problem so you won't have to use
avi.

Depending on the codec you used when you exported to this can be
expected. If you were to export your screen capture to a QT movie
using DV NTSC the file would be much larger as well. I am not very
familiar with the avi files though so I don't know how you could
improve file size.
