DVD Shrink

It'll take those DVD-9 originals-the big ones,and compress them to fit onto a blank single layer DVD-5 disc.Dvd shrink does the ripping and compressing,and you'll need a burn engine:
Nero6 -oem disc works great if you have 1.
Dvd decrypter - free
ImgBurn - free
Copytodvd

If set up right,they can even autoburn for you without opening up those burn programs separate. I prefer DVD Shrink and autoburning with Nero.

Here's a guide:

Arniebear and bbmayo also have some great guides.

Dvd shrink is free,but hasn't been updated for a couple years. Still a good program,just can't rip the newer sony and columbia releases from the last couple years. In that case, there's other programs that can help shrink rip those pesky encryptions: AnyDVD by slysoft

3 hrs and 20 mins is the longest flick I've backed up using blank DVD-5 media. When you open up DVD Shrink and see a red bar,you'll have to re-author.

Another option,being a 4 hr flick, use a dual layer blank. Then rip with DVD Decrypter using Mode ISO read and burn with ImgBurn. Very effective for non compressed backups.

you can burn the movie on two disks in DVD Shrink 3.2 after it is ripped to hard drive.
