re encode anime help

[Anarchy99]

i had some anime i needed to hardsub they are .avi files just under 200mb per episode
after adding the subs the way i wanted, it was encoded as a mov at 3.2gb per episode
what can i use to re encode these .mov files back down to a .avi at the 200-300mb area but keep quality
(batch encoding program preferred if possible)

What compressor did you use? H.264 or Sorenson 3 work pretty nicely at lower bitrates. And don't forget to compress your audio as well.
