If you make a careful analysis of the IC7 or IC8, you would find that it does not alter the "Menu" part of a DVD. So this is the source of inaccuracy of final destination size for instandcopy.

With careful plan, you may use instantcopy as the final-DVDstripper to strip off the unwanted part other than the menu. I use DVDShrink as the first pass to shrink down the DVD to an appropriate size, say, 4.9GB (retained part 4.37GB + unwanted part 0.53GB), then feed to instantcopy to strip off the unwanted part without further shrinking down the size by re-encoding with IC, just strip off the unwanted part.
