Any advice? Canon 6D and CS5

So my CS5 will not read my Canon 6D files when I shoot in RAW. I figured out how to convert(dowloaded the DNG converter)  but now a new problem! Can someone explain this...
The photo that I have taken on my Canon 6D is 19.1 MB. When I take it off my camera and onto my computer.
I had to download the DNG converter for my CS5 to read the file.
When I take the photo into CS5 my Camera RAW window opens up (before it goes directly into Photoshop).
I tweak my pic and then hit "open"...it opens in photoshop and then I save my file to jpg....and the file size is now 9MB...why is this happening? Why is it going from 19 to 10?! I dont want to lose that much information? Is it because its going to jpg?
The reason I am exporting the final as a jpg is because I am buring it onto a disc and I dont know another format that most computers can read? For example I am giving some photos of a valentines shoot to my in laws and I dont know what thier computer can read...so I pick jpg?
I thought about upgrading to CS6...but someone posted that this will not fix my problem of photoshop reading my RAW files?
I also have lightroom 4 but have not opened it yet...any suggestions?
Can someone help out? This may be an easy fix?!

The Canon 6D is supported by Adobe Camera Raw 7.3 and Lightroom 4.3

Camera Raw 7+ is only supported in Photoshop CS6 and above so Photoshop CS6 will certainly read your 6D Raw files. Download the Photoshop CS6 Trial version and see for yourself.
Best to post this question in the Photoshop forum
