 Is there a best debian program to
 compress avi videos enough to send
 them by email?
 
 I have found ffmpeg and avidemux and am trying to learn to
 use them but
 have not had much success so far.

avidemux should be able to create mp4s that are pretty compressed.  I use these settings (but I'm working from mpg not avi and not on the most recent version of avidemux).  Give it a try!

MPEG-4 AVC
AAC (Faac)
MP4

Zip them up before attaching to an email.  But if they are very long, you'll probably have to put them online somewhere.
