i just uploaded a video on my hard drive from my camcorder and it requires 900mb for just 10 minutes of video? thats alot so is there a program that downsizes the bytes and maintains the quality that I can use?

Nope. If you shrink the size, you lose quality. End of story.

MeGUI is used in conjunction with x264 by most people on the internet.

What output is that?
Likely a camera shooting AVCHD, .MTS / MPEG-4. I deal with this all the time, and the cameras shoot 18 minutes of video for every 2 gigs of space, when running at 1920x1080p24.

From my past experience, Mpeg 2 provides both smaller compression and decent image quality.

MPEG2 is neither efficient nor decent. MPEG4 is a revision of it, and it was revised for the sole purpose of creating a more efficient and better standard.
And no, there is no magic way to improve the quality of anything. This applies to everything with computers (audio, video, photos). The only exception to this is anything done with film, as film is infinite in quality.
