Description of problem or question:
I used to use DVDFab to create a copy of a DVD. It stopped working and their support is non-existent. Now I use MakeMKV to rip the DVD to iso files and have tried using Handbrake to compress it down, but I want it in a large format (4GB) so I can burn it back to a blank DVD. Any recommendations on using Handbrake to accomplish this, as I am looking for max quality? Many thanks. John
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.7.2
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

If you want just a copy of the DVD just use makemkv to create a mkv file, this will give you an exact copy of your DVD.
If you need to compress a file to a certain size then you need a bitrate calculator to calculate what your video and audio bitrates will need to be. You can find bitrate calculators on google.
Thanks for the reply. File size after MKV comes out roughly 8gb and so I'd need to reduce by 50%. I was hoping for a one-stop shop that could combine the two efforts. So, I will work on finding bitrate conversion to get it down to 4gb.
