If you use a codec like XviD you could lower the file size a lot while loosing small amounts of quality.
Download and install Koepi's XviD Codec (both encoding and decoding) If you need to set it up a guide can be found at www.koepi.org
Then Download and install VirtualDubMod.

Once you have done that open the file (the original 1gb AVI would be great as the quality will be about the same as the 221mb MPG one but if you use the 221mb MPG version to start the process you will have both MPEG and XviD artifacts, but it won't make a lot of difference).
-For any warnings you get about VBR click No.
-Then click Video > Compression > Select "XviD MPEG-4 Codec" as the codec and then click OK. OK to any more messages.
- Then click Video again and select Full Processing Mode
- Click file, then save as and pick a location for the new file, and wait for the process to finish (it could take a small amount of time).
- Once done you will have a file about the same quality as the 221mb MPEG version, but this time using an MPEG-4 stream that allows it to be a fraction of the size.
