2 year old MacBook and DVD 9's

I have a 2 year old MacBook and want to burn a DVD that is 8000 Mb in size. I extracted the files from the DVD and compressed them down to 4400 Mb but the quality is no that good and the picture is squeezed and elongated. Can my 2 year old MacBook burn a DVD 9? If yes, how. Secondly, can I get better quality by using a different video conpression to get the file sizes down to 4400 Mb? I used RipIt and DVDMaster. TIA

Do you have access to a machine with a dual layer superdrive? Then you wouldn't need to compress the files very much if it all to burn the contents to DVD.

Found a solution.

I use RipIt!, then use titanium toast and check the box use DVD video compression. The quality is pretty godd and the 7+ gig dvd fits on a 4.7 gig single sided DVD.

Popcorn (also by Roxio) will also do it. But Toast Titanium is much more capable.
