Video file to DVD burning question

I have a video file which is apparently 800(ish)mb. I want to put it on a DVD to watch through my tele but when I use the software on my PC (sonic) it tells me that the project size is too big to fit on the DVD. Apparently the file size is now suddenly over 10gb!

Any advice on how best to get round this, the DVD has a 4.7gb capacity which I thought was standard??
