For travelling I transcode my movies and fit three on a single DVD. If you are 
only watching it on your laptop this is fine, although you can see artifacts 
at that ratio. I use DVD::RIP and set it based on a target size of 1.5GB.

You can get all manual about it and use just the vobs and be all mathematical 
about the transcode CLI options, but for my time and simple movies on the go 
DVD::RIP is the shit.
