I've done something similar - I used DVDShrink to set very rough edit
points, erring on the side of generosity, then TMPGenc DVD Author to take in
the individual "virtual DVDs", and author them as a single DVD. When I did
it, I didn't let 'Shrink compress any of the clips. The resulting
compilation was then a little too big for a single layer disc, which I then
Shrunk down before burning. I think this is probably the way to go - then
you're only compressing each file once.

I'm sure there are other ways of doing it, but I'm used to these two
programs, and didn't particularly want to learn another one...
