If you mean regular compression like .zip then i just use winrar, you can make it smaller by recording at half-size though, or by not recording sound(which can help A lot).

Clearly you havent done much with files at all. To zip it get WinRAR. Right click the file, do add to archive.

To import it into Windows Movie Maker, go to File > Import into collections. The you go to File > Save and pick your settings.

Maybe its just me, but its pretty clear what the file menu is there for.
