Yes, but not by much if at all. The most lossless compression I have
seen of an .AVI occured because the PCM audio was uncompressed. The
only .AVIs you'll see major compression occur is when there is so much
redundant information in a frame or series of frames that the AVI CODEC
output itself contains redundancies. For example, take a 20-second
stretch of pure black video, encode it to .AVI using any codec you
want, then compress further with ZIP or something. Most likely, it
will compress further.

Depends on the source material. Try a few.
