First, my system recognizes 4.7GB DVD-R disks as 4.2GB disks. Most of my DVDs are larger than this. I want to try to avoid re-encoding my DVDs whenever possible to preserve the original quality. Many of my disks have a lot of extra content that can be dropped.

IMO just save a lot of time and effort and use e.g. k9copy. It will not
fully preserve the quality but up to now it was more than sufficient for
me.
