is this normal, for a 15 minute video edited in adobe premiere with very little effects, or transitions, and just maybe 30 seconds of a song to be almost 3 gigs in size? im still very new to compressing but have been doing my research... so sorry ahead of time if there is a really obvious answer. i also filmed some footage of Universal Studios, added a couple songs in, and it came to be about 17 minutes long and that video came out to be about 5 gigs in size.
 
It depends on the size of the video, as far as resolution and compression. That's about right for the largest codecs. I recommend compressing with h.264 or xvid, something MPEG4, and playing around with the compression settings. h.264 takes a while, though, compared to other codecs.
 
The presets should include audio, you can reduce it beyond normal if you need. But you shouldn't need to. Just play with the video compression amount until you get what you want.
 
i tried the quicktime format with the h.264 compression and i got the vid which was orginal 2.3 gigs down to .96 gigs! so i can upload it to youtube now as one vid, rather than 4 parts. only thing is the quality isnt as great as the .avi but it is still really good.

thanks for the help!!
