hmm, requires libhal and vamps.  vamps only requantizes the mpeg

stream.  tcrequant from the transcode package can requantize mpeg

streams.  IIRC, vamps is based on the same code as tcrequant.
plus, requantizing isn't that great.  rip the program streams and

then reencode with ffmpeg.  I fit _Star Wars_ and _Blazing Saddles_

on one 4.7GB DVD by doing this, and they looked better than a

requantized _Star Wars_ that was too big to fit another title on

that DVD.  you'll have to create a menu for dvdauthor, but if what

you're looking for is a way to copy/create DVDs on *nix, it's an

important (the only?) tool for the job.
