Default Reducing file size for recorded video

I have a programme that I've recorded from the TV. The file size if 5.6 GB,
so it's too big to go on my standard single layered DVD discs.

So I was wondering if there are any freeware programs that would allow me to
cut down the size to something that I can record to DVD.

Thanks (in advance)

Is that how they make those little 8cm discs for cameras from the big 12m
ones?

Just go ahead an author it with VSO ConvertXtoDVD and it will automatically
make it fit a normal DVD5. If you can burn DVD9 then you can instruct it to
do that also.
