Answer 1

You can try freeware like DVDshrink or Shrinkto5basic
http://www.filehippo.com/search?q=shrink

or get a trial copy of Ashampoo Movie shrink & burn
http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/products/php/product.php?session_langid=2&idstring=0137

version 1 is cheaper than version 2; get a free extended trial key and Ashampoo should eventually offer you ( please, please buy our product! oh, go on....) the product at a knock down price...

or if it's quality you want try CloneDVD - 21 day full trial so worth checking out.

Answer 2

Most DVDs are designed to prevent you from making copies.
The first preventative measure is encryption. Commercial DVD titles are often encrypted, which prevents you from either copying them to your hard drive, or if you manage to do so, being able to play the resulting files. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem with built-in decryption algorithms.
The next problem is not so easy. Most DVD video titles are simply too large to fit, without modification, onto a single recordable DVD-R disk. DVD Shrink overcomes this problem by compressing or "shrinking" the data from your original DVD.

Why use DVD Shrink? Because DVD Shrink is free! Download it from the site below:

Answer 3

Go get a piece of software called DVD Shrink. It will shrink it down to fit on a blank DVD.
