shrink mpg file

I have an ATI TV wonder pro video card and have captured the latest Boston -
New York baseball game to burn to DVD and send to my husband overseas. The
ATI mpg file is more then 11 GB - I can convert it to DVD using WINavi and
burn it to DVD - it will be about 5 DVD (4.7) disks. Is there a better way
to do this - is there a setting I can change in the ATI software so that the
file is smaller? It is saving as mpg. DVDshrink does not reconize the file
either as an mpg or a DVD. Any suggestions on the best way to save the
baseball games and football games so that I can send them would be
appreciated - they are not available and my husband is a big fan. Seems like
there should be an easier way then converting and then burning so many
disks. He can view them on a computer or DVD player when he gets them.
Thanks
Linda

I'm not sure exactly which type of mpeg file it produces.
Can you give the exact model, as this one

lists dvd authoring can be done with it's own software.
