Why are the files on my HDD made so much larger when I try to burn them to dvd or blu-ray?

When I produce a file it will tell me that the size will be 3.8 gigs however the MPG2 is only 1.4 gigs, when I try to burn 11 gigs of MPG2s to a blu-ray it tells me that it will take 60 gigs of space, I am curious why this is.

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance. PDR 11 Ultimate
