create a file.avs:
make sure you write the full path!!

DirectShowSource("c:\locationto\video.mov")

You can now open a .mov file in virtual dub. (ぱちぱち)
For compression, I currently use xvid, which converts a 22 minutes-ish .mov 1.9Gb video file to a 361mb .avi (resolution is 640x480).

Any Video Converter is a good encoder, though it has a suspicious name... but i need more compression, virtualdub may do it... i guess.
