I suggest that you download a program such as "FormatFactory" which allows you to select different components of a file (file type, bits per sec, frames per sec, frame size, etc.) and try converting a sample DVD file to various alternatives until you find the one which suits you.
Just try the different file types, etc., on the computer to see the actual file size before making the DVD.
Hope this helps.
