Don’t use squeeze – it is not designed to create video that is usable in a production environment. It’s a last step in creating compressed video, not an interim one.
Instead of AVI uncompressed, try using either QuickTime with Animation Compression, or AVI with the HuffYUV codec, which you will need to find (free) and download. both are lossless codecs. If you have a lot of solid colors, Quicktime can reduce the video size dramatically. But it isn’t always right for the job. HuffyYUV can get it to half the size, I believe.
