Copy/Compress DVD to DVD


I was just wondering if there where any specific software I could use to copy my dvds to 4.7GB DVD's. I used to use windows "DVD Copy Tools" which would compress an 8GB DVD small enough to fit onto a 4.7GB DVD and still play like the original. Is there any recommended method/scripts or whatever I could use to do the same with linux?

There is little in the way of easy to use linux dvd9 -> dvd5 backup tools. DVD::Rip is the best that I have used, but I don't believe that it can do a full disc backup. Also DVDShrink is supposed to run well in wine so that might be an option for you if you don't mind losing some quality.

Check this out, works great. I use the command line part of the package on Fedora Core 3, works great.
