See the help section of AVIFILE:
  help avifile
There you find a descritpion of the Quality property.

If your pictures are photos, AVI files may be ok. But for animations/computer graphics my personal impression is, that AVIs are ugly! E.g. Indeo5 compressor and 90% Quality are a compromise between file size and ugly artifacts. But a simple animated GIF is nicer and smaller. I'm exporting PNGs and let ImageMagick create a nice and tiny GIF...

Good luck, Jan
