    avi (Video for Windows) is only a container file format. The old codecs (like Intel Indeo) are not very effective, MPEG2 (.mpg) is far better. However with the new MPEG4 standard, new codecs like DivX and XviD have appeared that are stored in .avi files and are better than MPEG2. Those avi files are nearly the smallest files you'll get.

    I'm not sure if there is a properly optimized video interface in Java, but I guess there has to be something somewhere. You might try asking that question at JavaNet (www.javanet.com I believe).
