The size of your movie depends on different things.

the most important are
1) the used codec and it's quality (bits/second, resolution of your movie etc.)
2) the (time-)length of your movie

what codec you use is a personal decision.
I personal decided for my 5 movies to use a resolution of 1680x1050 pixels and the Sony AVC codec (creates mp4 files) with 6000 bit/s.

If your movie isn't ~120min long 6,5Gb seem to be a lot too much. Depending on an average Bossfight or PvP Video from 10-20minuts you should try to get a filesize around 300 and 600MB.

Just try a bit with different codecs and qualities.

Compressing the video is also gonna help, but it won't suffice if your movie is 6.5 gigs, i use divx converter which keeps the quality and reduces the file size by up to 3 quarters, theres a 15 day free trial for it on their website. You may also need to drop your quality a bit when rendering. Not that i recommend it, but i use windows movie maker as its free and easier to use and the movie compression is pretty decent, got like 100 gigs of fraps'd clips into a 30 min 1.3 gig video and then used divx to get that down to 900 MB.

PS. you're in the movie dirtydawg... twice

1. WCM's uploader will probably not respond to such huge thingis as far as I know.

2. 6,5GB, you nearly deserve an award for making it that huge

But on a serious note, just follow this guide:

Its easy-mode tuto, and it's extremely good quality.

Happy rendering.
