Use Ashampoo Burning Studio.
If you want to compress media files (*.VOB,*.DAT,*.MP4).

winrar does not work for media files.....

Try 7zip with Ultra compression in .7z format in case of non video files, else simply try Handbrake to compress DVD video.

If you have got lots of time and the fastest processor try kgb archiver.:-o:-o:-o

Try 7zip and make a split archive. I have heard a lot about kgb, but never tested it personally.
