    Convert it to a flash video file or use a higher compression codec :)

    If you are using windows xp use "Windows Movie Maker". There are different options for reducing the sizes of movies.

    How long is the video? It is possible that you converted it to uncompressed avi wich will be many times larger than it needs to be. For web standard video you can get 45 minutes viewing for a 77Mb file.
    What program did you use to convert the phone video file (which should be .3gp) to .avi?
