The accepted answer to this question shows a very detailed way of minimizing video size using Mobile Media Converter: How can I maximum compress video files?
You can also use Arista Transcoder.The best compromise between quality and file size should be a mpeg4 file with xvid encoding.
Handbrake is also a decent application for video encoding (and superb for DVD ripping). A tutorial of minimizing file size is here on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLVBb4zSdDo
I think the application called VLC will do this. Just type VLC in the search box in the Ubuntu Software Centre, and install it from there. Good luck.
