compressing avi files without losing quality?

I have a bunch of videos from my canon powershot but the files are so huge, are there any free programs out there that will compress them without losing video/sound quality?

hummm... doesn't the term 'compression' implicitly imply quality loss?

it's about the capture then, the quality of the cmos and what is 'gathered' not the size of the file. the powershot pulls lot's off low quailty data.

You could try crush it down by re-encoding in Handbrake. Or pull it into Final Cut and edit it down.

I believe the compression is only done server side.

youtube needs to make it so you can resume your uploads. it always fails part way through on the big files for me.
