Before you convert your dvd video stream into a vcd ##### your dvd player's manual!! Not every dvd player can read vcd's (video cd's) although most can as far as I know. If your dvd player supports svcd's (super videos cd's) you should convert the dvd video to an svcd-file because it has a much better quality. In any case you usually need at least two cd-r's to back up one dvd movie.
Another alternative is the DivX-Format (which is a ripped version of MPEG4). DivX-compressed video files take up less space and have a pretty good quality. The only problem is that you can only watch these videos on your computer. There's no dvd player so far that can read cd-r's which contain DivX-compressed files.
