OK, after DVDshrink finishes analysing, it starts rendering, that took 54 minutes to finish, when it was done, I had a new filesystem, 4.3gb worth ready to go on a DVD. It worked in VideoLAN player, groovy.

I installed the DVDR drive in the computer, no great task.

Now, software to use. I started up DiscJuggler, since it can burn dvds, it made references to data dvds though, and I want a movie dvd, and I thought maybe it's similar to CD/VCD/SVCD, you have to use special software, you can;t make an SVCD just by putting mpeg files on a CD. DVDs aren't like that apparently, you can use any software to make DVDs, but I'm not sure.. I'll come back to this.

I installed Nero that came with the drive, apparently imgburn is a good tool to use, and it uses Nero's api or something. I couldn't get it to work, just kept getting "communication failure" (as opposed to communication breakdown) errors.

After disabling dma on the dvdr drive, and rebooting, it seemed like it was going to work. I started it going, it took 1/2 hour to burn. When it was done, I stuck it in my crappy dvd player, Philips DVD707, it flashed "loading" for about a minute, and then said "no disc" crappy bloody thing.

I gave up and went to bed, about 4am.
