So you have
part 1 and 2 are 1.14 GB part 3 is 5GB and part 4 is 1gb
Gigabytes of what?
If its DV(avi) then when you convert it to the final output format MPEG2 it will reduce in size dramatically. If its already MPEG2 then perhaps you need to alter your bit rates.
What bit rate settings should I use?

If you are working on a NTSC/PAL DVD and you have Moviefactory 6, load your project there and uncheck the "Do not convert compliant MPEG files," there will be a significant drop in file size.
However if you don't have MovieFactory, you can do a different step in VideoStudio:
1. Go to the Share tab and click "Create video file" > Custom.
2. Click "options" then go to Compression tab.
3. Put the video data rate to "constant" because variable data rate shifts your data rate 20% up/down.
4. enter 4000 (you can go as low as 1775 but remember that the lower the data rate the lower the quality of the video)
5. You can further decrease the file size of your video by lowering its resolution. To do that, go to General tab and choose 352x240 (VCD quality)
6. save it.
Just remember that the lower the frame size and the data rate gets, the poorer the quality of your video will be.
