You don't have to have k3b output and automatically burn the DVD to 
another DVD- you can output it to a folder (from which you can then have 
k3b burn the DVD).

While the DVD is in the interim folder you can use dvdshrink to shrink 
the file to fit a 4.7GB disc - but, of course, the quality will suffer 
greatly.

The other thing about using k3b is that I am not sure that you can pick 
and choose which vob files you want and which (as in menus, other 
language sub-titles, etc) to discard which is what k9copy can do.

There are a couple of other things which k9copy can do which k3b may not 
be able to do (I have never used k3b to process DVDs) which I am sure 
don't need mentioning here.
