I think the the input video was encoded with a rate that was too high and there are sections that exceed the VBV size of 220KB. The buffering can't handle the rate spikes in the video stream, that gives the error. What bitrate was specified when shrink.m2v was created? If 9800 was used then that doesn't leave any room for peaks. Try using a slightly lower setting. Maybe 8500, if that works then move up a little. Or if you want you can try using a higher bitrate and/or vbv size with mplex (-r and -b respectively) but it may produce a stream that won't play in all DVD players...
