I felt like posting this because I am bored and just watched an interlaced movie on the internet *cringe in horror*
Here is a good compression method that has unnoticeable quality changes and compresses footage by about 100x.
1) Export your footage from your editor in lossless/uncompressed avi.
2) Pull the clip into Adobe After Affects, de-interlace your footage, and then export in lossless/uncompressed avi. It doesn't have to be AFX, just anything that can de-interlace.
3) Grab your de-interlaced footage and place it into Quicktime Pro. Export the clip with the following settings:

Thank you for taking the time to make your footage look good.

3) Grab your de-interlaced footage and place it into Quicktime Pro. Export the clip with the following settings:
Video:
- Compress with H.264
- Keep the current frame rate.
- If you shoot NTSC then keyframe every 150 frames.
If you shoot PAL then keyframe every 125 frames.
- Keep the data rate automatic
- Keep the quality at about 70
Audio:
- Format should be AAC and the channel should be stereo (L R).
- Put the rate 32 kHz and check off advance settings.
- Keep quality at normal.
The bit rate format should be at Variable Bit Rate.
The target bit rate should be at 128-146 kbps.
- There shouldn't be any precedence.
Thank you for taking the time to make your footage look good.
