Glen is probably correct. Keep in mind that avi defines only the format of a
disk file and not the video that is in it; it is one of the oldest video
formats around and is often referred to as a container format (as is mpg).
Indeed, an avi can contain a video encoded with mpeg. Therefore you can
write your clips to an avi file using a number of different encoding
standards (codecs), and it is those encoding algorithms that result in
varying file sizes.

Subject: [AP] Clipping AVI in Elements
I am trying to clip/shorten an AVI. Import is normal and editing the clip is
normal, but when I save the clip back to AVI, the file size has grown from
61Mb to 750Mb. Why does this happen, but more to the point, how do I
maintain the file size close to the original size?
