My blank DVD media is over 4.3GB so I would not have to shrink it.

Are you sure your talking DVD and not VCD. Normal DVD blanks are over 4.0 GB in size and require no alteration for the size of file you want to record as Bob has stated in the previous post. Where as if you are trying to burn this video to a playable CD you would need some compression.
