How to compress a movie I have on my computer?

Question by Nick F: How to compress a movie I have on my computer?
I want to put a movie or two onto my 8GB iPhone but I cant when the file size is around 1.9 – 2 GB. Is there any way to make the file size considerably smaller and still have high quality? I would be doing this in a Mac and if there is any software involved i would like it to be free. The movies are already in MP4 format. Thanks for your help.
