Video Compression & Conversion

I have RAW AVI files that are not compressed. I would like to put them into a compressed format, but I don't know a program I can use for this. This program should be able to do AMAZING compression. It should be able to compress into any format I want.

I don't care about the costs of the software, I want the best of the best!

Thanks!

I use this site..

www.videohelp.com as one of my main references on doing any video work. Have a look at their conversion section and see what they use. They have a very extensive site and many tutorials as well. http://www.videohelp.com/convert

I'm not sure there's any one program that will convert to every compressed format. You may want to decide which format you prefer and then find the best program that works with that. eg Divx, wmv, rm, etc
