i want to compress dvd files for storage

[selyb]

let me try to make clear what i want to do
i want to demux a vob completely and be able to reconstruct it without the original present
i want this to allow me to extract the video and audio separately and compress them individually
i then want to (later) re-convert the video and audio files back to mpeg2 and reconstruct the vob files to make the original dvd
what i hope to accomplish is a way to store a potential 4.65 gb dvd in something like 2.5 gb
my current thoughts are to compress the video using either lossless or high quality settings for xvid or divx or something to that effect

the tool that ive used that comes closest to what i want is dvd-rebuilder but AFAICT, it still needs the original vobs present to rebuild the new ones

please, any thoughts, comments, or suggestions are welcome :)

If you want to reconstruct your movies without the original disc present, this implies that you don't own it. If you don't own the original, your request is in violation of the Forum Rules and the Announcement (http://forum.doom9.org/announcement.php?s=&forumid=6/), located at the top of the Newbies forum; apparently, you've missed both.
