short reply is, strip and transcode the main movie VOB's . if you want the extras, as i always do, then you will do well by transcoding them as well, then re-author with scenarist and merge back into the original disc with ifoupdate.

Ahh... you seem to be assuming that the DVD-Rs you purchase have the same capacity as the movie DVD-ROMs, often they do not. While many older DVD features use a single layer DVD-5 (equivalent to a DVD-R), most newer movie release are on DVD-9s, include all sorts of xtras and the features are frequently encoded to higher avg. bit rates than in days past. Getting one to fit on a DVD-R requires either transcoding the feature (and/or xtras) to a lower data rate and/or tossing some or all of the xtras.
