I've usually used DVD::Rip for this. It does just about everything you'd need
to turn a DVD into 1 or 2 smaller AVI files that are not going to be larger
than (user-selectable size) with two-pass encoding. It may be a bit more
complex than you'd like, though, since it's really just a frontend to
transcode/vobcopy. (transcode does everything, but it has more options than
smb.conf....)

I've also heard of k9copy, a KDE app designed specifically to reduce
dual-layer DVDs to slightly over 4G so you can copy them to cheaper
single-layer DVD-Rs. It's been a while since I've fiddled with these things
more than casually, though.
