On the last page of the Create DVD wizard where you can change the 
encoding profile for each file just select 'Don't re-encode'. The script 
when run will tell you not to be a plonker  and will warn you that the 
resulting DVD will not be fully compliant but the DVD will be created 
just fine. The feed back I have been getting would suggest that there 
are still a lot of players out there that have problems with DVDs that 
are not 100% compliant so you've been warned :-).
