How to further reduce m2v file size to fit one DVD-R?

I am trying to encode a DVD PAL to DVD NTSC.
The length of the PAL movie is 2 hours 14 minutes.

The original PAL DVD is in one DVD-5 single layer disc in 4.36GB.
The video is PAL interlace, 4:3, 625 line (704x576)

I use TMPGenc to encode output movie.m2v size is 5.998 GB.
That is too big for one single DVD-R disc.

The TMPGenc setting is:
704x480 NTSC
Frame rate = 23.976
Automatic VBR
DC component precision: 8 bits
Motion search precision: Motion Estimate Search (fast)

What can I do to reduce file size and maintain reasonable good quality picture?
Is there anyway I can make this NTSC DVD similar to the original PAL DVD source?
Thank you for your advise. Jerry
