Hi
That depends. If you are using dual-layer DVDs, you can just burn that folder 
straight back to a DVD using disk utility, being sure that the AUDIO_TS and 
VIDEO_TS folders are at the root of the burned image, i.e. not in a subfolder. 
If not, and you're wanting to compress the DVD image down to a 4.7 gb DVD-R, 
you would use something like DVD2One from:
http://www.dvd2one.com/
Using dual-layered discs is preferable to shrinking, because there will be some 
data compression and therefore a loss of quality when you shrink it. Plus, 
dvd2one is not a free program, and is a bit on the expensive side unless you 
need it. If you do need it, it is Voiceover-friendly although the interface is 
a bit different than what you might expect.
