Presumably Sorenson's Squeeze has, buried somewhere in the settings  
dialogs, a setting for controlling the target size, or the average  
bitrate. (Or does it not?) By setting one or the other it should be  
possible to compress the entire video on a single-layer DVD. 
 
If it is a bitrate-based setting, see here for a bitrate calculator:
