first off u will need to cut out all the shit that comes with a dvd like sound and video options . you can use dvd decripter or smart ripper . use the video stream option and just keep what u want like english ac3 and pal video.
once you have ripped it the film will still be to big to fit on a dvd-r as its over 1h 30 mins so you must re encode it using a lower birate . rempeg 2 is very good at this .
look at the guide on dvd to dvd-r on

good luck...................
