if so what would i use to do the same?
thanks
It is possible. You might try
DVD Flick to do it, but I've never used it for very high compression.

DVD-Video is compressed, using mpeg-2 codecs. Mpeg-4 codecs like Xvid and DivX can compress video to the same quality as mpeg-2 with about one-quarter of the bitrate (meaning you can fit about four times as much stuff on the same 4.3 GiB disk)

If you still think you will have 5 great looking movies after they were ripped, encoded and compressed to 700mb then re-encoded to MPEG-2 format. Depending if you use SL or DL discs you will have to make sure it stays within the file limits then I think you have to get your eyes checked.
But as the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Go for it!

Depends on how shit quality you will tolerate. Multi-in-one DVDs are low quality, if done well they do not show lots blocking but still lack a lot of detail.

A 700MB Film ripped from a DVD is usually perfect quality and I've never experienced any great loss i nquality. I suppose it's all down to what your capable of watching without getting annoyed.
The quality of movies ripped from DVD to 700 MiB files have quality noticably lowered to me.

Hmm... I consider that with a whole lot of scepticism. You'd want two-to-three times as much bitrate to achieve near DVD-quality.
