Out of the 15-20+ media encoders/muxers/authorers I use, I use this particular one for creating DVDs (encodes any video, or set of videos, straight to a DVD, DVD Folder, or ISO file)
This movie is 2h 32m, I'm burning to a DVD folder
If I choose the fit to disc setting for DVD5, The output file size will be 3.94 GB
I'm wondering, should I settle for a 3.94 GB DVD folder
or Should I encode it to a 7.27GB DVD folder, and use DVD shrink (deep analysis) to shrink it down to 4.35GB
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

"Do the Least Harm!"
So that means, encode/convert (lossily) only the minimal amount of times necessary to get to your destination (usually this means ONCE).

DVD Shrink's requantising in the dct domain is fast but quality decreases quickly once you go beyond a ~10 percent shrink. You'll get better results encoding once at the required bitrate.
