Question:

How do you convert a television show or movie into a small file without compromising too much quality?

Background:

I'm a novice when it comes to video conversion, so please use laymen's terms rather than technical lingo in your explanations;
I've been successful converting YouTube .flv files to Xvid, which typically come out to be fairly small files (~20-30mb);

Goal:

I'm primarily interested in converting television and full movies into smaller files than what I have been getting:
- Current File Size = ~250mb @ 1 hr
- Goal File Size = ~150mb @ 1 hr

Is this even possible? If so, please provide a "How To." If not, thanks anway...
