Partially.
You can use a tool like avidemux to unpack the frames and write
another file. All this is made losslessly.
If you don't need things to be in an avi container, then I would
recommend that you additionally change to a better container, like
MKV.
You will also notice that your files will be smaller (while having
the same contents). For this (after you have unpacked the frames), you
can simply use, from the mkvtoolnix package:
mkvmerge -o newfile.mkv oldfile.avi
Hope this helps,
