hmm, requires libhal and vamps. vamps only requantizes the mpeg
stream. tcrequant from the transcode package can requantize mpeg
streams. IIRC, vamps is based on the same code as tcrequant.

plus, requantizing isn't that great. rip the program streams and
then reencode with ffmpeg. I fit _Star Wars_ and _Blazing Saddles_
on one 4.7GB DVD by doing this, and they looked better than a
requantized _Star Wars_ that was too big to fit another title on
that DVD. you'll have to create a menu for dvdauthor, but if what
you're looking for is a way to copy/create DVDs on *nix, it's an
important (the only?) tool for the job.
