There are a few options: 'tovid' (http://tovid.sourceforge.net/), its a
nice script for converting video to dvd, that started as a thread at
linuxquestions.org. Also, look at 'dvrequant', which, I believe, will do
what you want. You have to requantize the video, in order to make it fit
into a regular 4.4GB dvd blank media. I don't know whats going on at
dvrequant??s home at sourceforge, but this link will lead you right to
the point:

Tovid is great. The problem was in the size of the dvd. The solution
that I found was to use vobcopy to put the vobs in the hard disk, then
to select which vobs would go to the first dvd, which to the second,
by hand, after a preliminary ls -lh to determine sizes, and subsequent
mplayer to preview the selection; then tovid from the command line as
outlined in http://tovid.sourceforge.net/howto.html
Any improvements to this method will be welcome, may be some small
"Shrinking Commercial DVD to Home DVD HOWTO" can be written. The basic
steps have been outlined above.
Just stumbled over k9copy which may be what you want.

Description: copy DVD like dvdshrink
A small utility which allows the copy of DVD on Linux. The DVD video
stream
is compressed by the program Vamps.
.
o Copy without menus :
In this case, dvdauthor is used to create a new DVD structure. It is
possible to choose the order in which the video sequences are played.
.
o Copy with menus :
As dvdauthor does not make it possible to integrate the original menus,
K9Copy reproduces the original structure of the DVD. The navigation
packs
as well as IFO files are modified to point on the compressed MPEG
stream.
