How to create movies that is playable in home DVD players from a movie DVD

[vain]

Hi, i'm a newbie. i want to convert an 8GB movie disk into a compressed form(700MB to max 4GB) that can be playable in a stand alone DVD player at home. i have ripped couple of movies into avi's through autogk so i do have basic ripping knowledge. plz help me solve this problem.(i guess its something to do with ISO creation). i need a detailed step-by-step tutorial.i'm doing this for my childhood girlfriend, she's leaving soon so pls hurry with your suggestions!!!Keep up the good work fellas!

Don't convert it to avi just copy it. Use for example imgburn and if the dvd is copy protected rip it to hdd using dvdfab decrypter. And if you want to shrink it so it fits on a dvd-5 use dvd shrink.

thanx for ur reply. i'll try to do that and will post the feedback. by the way after decrypting, only shrinking would do? is there any tutorials?
