I have a DVD hard copy, but no DVD player. Anyway, I found the DVD online and downloaded it, only problem is it's a 7GB mkv. Is there a method to shrink it down by around 6GB?

If it's in an uncompressed encode you could trancode it to HEVC or AV1, which should cut the size by 1/3. Though some older phone might not be able to play AV1.

Alternativly you could convert it to a lower resolution.

Thanks, is there an app you would recommend to do it?

I would recommend FFShare, it is free and open source, but not available on google play store.

With h.265 and 480p, you should be able to shrink the video file by quite a lot. You need to set these settings first before selecting a file.
