HI –
most likely you are rendering AVI uncompressed….resulting in a huge file (but top quality).you need to use a codec to compress the file (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec)
you set the codec in the Output section of the render queue….
depending on what you want to do with the file afterwards will determine which codec/file type to use.
may I suggest trying a quicktime file with Sorenson Video 3 compression if you are just rendering for viewing on your PC/CD-ROM or Web. Try playing around with different settings and you will learn what they all do.
-hope this helps
