Can anyone recommend a decent freeware or shareware (up to a max of $29.99) able to do this?

I have a load (134) of MPG files over 1GB each and would like to see if AVI is smaller - I can't help noticing that AVI files of 1.5hour movies are only 700MB so should be able to get this MPG files - 48 mins each - down to around 350MB hence saving me about 90GB of disk space.

I'm trying a few out but of course they only output 50-60% of the converted file so I can't really see if they substantially reduce the size or not.
