Welcome to TechIMO!

The videos you are downloading are probably encoded with MPEG-4, H.264, or similar. The DVD standard uses the older MPEG-2 video format, though with that said, one hour of common resolution DVD video certainly should not require 6.5GB of data storage.

The quick solution is to turn down the video encoding bitrate. Sounds like whatever conversion utility you are using is utilizing an extreme MPEG-2 bitrate, which can quickly inflate file size.
