Can you clarify what you mean by compression tools? Windows Movie Maker outputs compressed format WMV files at a wide variety of quality levels depending on what your needs are in terms of resolution and file size. You can even set a specific file size target and let the software automatically output a file at the target size in MB. PowerPoint is a little more complicated because the files tend to be bloated to begin with. You can conserve a ton of space simply by using a high compression setting in a zip application. If you are outputting an video presentation from PowerPoint, your can get a compressed video file by using Microsoft Producer instead of creating a compiled PowerPoint deck. The other option here would be to purchase one of the many $30 apps specifically designed to compress PP files.
