1. Use Smartripper to burn all files to a folder on the Hard Drive.
2. Make another Folder
3. Use DVD2one and select source to the folder you made in step 1.
4. then select the New folder as the destination point in step 2 as this folder will be the compressed version.
5. Now that it's compressed, you can either use Clone DVD or Copy2DVD to get the compressed version on a DVD Media.

Thanks desavedo, yep that method works also. Except you need to purchase a lot of software and you end up with nothing any better in quality than whats used in Laz's method. Might be worth a try.
