guslI finally found a reasonable way to compress the AVI movies made by my Canon PowerShot. FormatFactory 1.90 works perfectly, and automatically converts multiple files, unlike Windows MovieMaker.
The GUI is confusing: you first need to add all files to the main window. Then you click on "Start".
I'm converting them to WMV (just for the heck of it). I've tried MP4 too, and it worked, with a similar compression rate/quality (~6 times smaller than the AVI, perfect quality). I've yet to try MPG.
If you're not careful, it will add a shortcut to eBay on your Desktop when you install it. In any case, that's a pretty small price to pay for effective freeware.
