Convert large .mov file to .avi or other small file format

Convert large .mov file to .avi or other small file format I have a large 3G .mov file that I need to post online or attach in an email (hopefully the final output will be less then 100mb). What is the best way for me to do this, quickly and for free?

"FFMPEG!

ffmpeg -i 3G_file.mov -vcodec copy out.mpg

you can limit file output size with the -fs switch. I'd suggest lowering resolution first as it will reduce quality significantly otherwise. You can use -r to change the FPS, and -s to change the size.
