Here is a script I use for shrinking DVDs. Needs some work but you
should get the idea. You will need to d'load vobcopy, tcextract etc.
#! /bin/bash
cd /video
pwd
echo "Ripping DVD"
vobcopy -l /dev/hda -t movie
echo "Extracting Video"
tcextract -i movie*-1.vob -t vob -x mpeg2 > movie.m2v
echo "Extracting Audio"
tcextract -i movie*-1.vob -t vob -x ac3 -a 0 > movie.ac3
echo "Calculating Shrink Ratio"
rm movie*-1.vob
echo "Calculating Shrink Ratio"
M1=$(ls -l movie.m2v | awk '{ print $5 }')
M2=$(ls -l movie.ac3 | awk '{ print $5 }')
M3=$(echo 4600000000 - $M2 | bc)
M4=$(echo "scale = 2; $M1 / $M3 * 1.04" | bc)
echo "Movie size =" $M1
echo "Sound size =" $M2
echo "Blank - Sound size =" $M3
echo "Scale Factor =" $M4
echo "Shrinking For DVD-5"
tcrequant -i movie.m2v -o shrink.m2v -f $M4
echo "Deleting Video File"
rm movie.m2v
echo "Re-combining Video and Audio"
mplex -f 8 -o movie%d.mpg shrink.m2v movie.ac3
echo "Deleting Video File"
rm shrink.m2v
echo "Deleting Audio File"
rm movie.ac3
echo "Authoring DVD..."
dvdauthor -o output -x dvd.xml
