If vid is a FieldField then try this:

{{ db.vid.file.size|filesizeformat }}

filesizeformat as it's name states (and as the official documentation describes) is formatting a file size value and not displaying the filesize itself. If you used the build in File Field for uploading the video, then you can use the already provided .size attribute.

{{db.vid.file.size}}
