Just import the AVI file into MovieMaker (File...Import into Collections
from the menu). When you select the video file to import into MovieMaker you
may want to turn off the "Create clips for video files" option at the bottom
of the dialog if you know you don't want to do any editing. The file will
then import quicker and you'll just have one clip for the file which will be
easier to drag down to the storyboard / timeline.

Once you've got the clip on the storyboard / timeline, select File...Save
Movie File from the menu and choose the relevant options.

See Saving Movies...Introduction on PapaJohn's web site for more information
on the options available
