I'm trying to create a DVD from a PVR recording, but DVD-lab studio refuses to create DVDs larger than 8.99 GB, and my file is 9,40 GB. It says that it has finsihed making the DVD, but the last VOB is missing. I know it won't fit, but I'm going to shrink it later.

Is there any way I can get the program to create DVDs larger than 8.9 GB?

No.
And to be quite honest, I am very surprised it went that large.
8.54Gb of actual data is the best you should have been able to achieve, so I'm guessing that it measures in DVD Gigabytes which are smaller than computer ones.

The reason for this is because a DVD9 is the largest single sided disc that can be created. To make a DVD15 or DVD18 disc requires a separate project to be created.
You cannot shrink it either - Shrink don't work that way - it is designed to take a DVD9 down to a DVD5, not an impossible out-of-spec disc down to a DVD9.

Why can you not either
A - APlit the disc down further, or
B - re encode the MPEG files to actually fit by doing a bit budget?
