When creating an AVI from many BMP files, what is the best compression
scheme to use? Most of them seem to result in significant image degradation,
to me.

I'm afraid you'll always suffer from image degradation. That is the downfall
of lossy compression. Nonetheless, I've found the Intel codecs to be the
best.
The Indeo Video 5.06 or Intel Indeo Video 4.4 (not Indeo Video 3.2) have
more options and do much better than the MS codecs from what I've seen of it
anyway. If you're willing to go with larger end-result file sizes you can
use very little compression anyway. Still the Intels, as Tony said, seem to
be best for Avi making.
