Martin, look at Avidemux. It is kind of a mencoder user friendly GUI, 
sometimes compared to VirtualDub; google around there is a plenty of 
nice manuals with screenshots on the web. I use Avidemux as a pre 
process and post process tool for Kdenlive.
As Jorge suggested pick copy method in left panel for both audio and 
video and DVD VOB as a target format. You can keep other values as 
default. And then just save the video.
You can split video there to smaller pieces if it does not fit into the 
one DVD media (it could do the split automatically I am not sure here)
If you choose "copy" method you cannot reduce bit ratio to reduce file 
size, you can just split the video to smaller chunks.
Hope it helps
