You can try tools like Handbrake to re-encode the file using different container and/or codec, but cannot expect to reduce the file size enormously without some loss in qualirty.

Handbrake as mentioned by Alacacho is a good choice and another to consider is MPEG Streamclip.

How about the format and size setting if I want to retain same Quality but smaller size e,g, 4.25GB to 1.25GB ?

Since both of the converters mentioned are free downloads I can only suggest that you download one or both and experiment with the settings. Try using the .mp4 container and play with the settings. .AVI will increase the file size since it is an uncompressed format. If the file is an HD file then you might want to avoid mpeg2 as well.

You can't put four pounds/kilos of sugar into one pound/kilo bag.
