Yep, DVD Shrink can't do what you want - sorry, I meant it as an example of how long this sort of thing takes on my computer (I've never made a DVD from a video file, only done copying, and even reenconding the whole DVD in DVD Shrink, it doesn't take longer than an hour).
The speed of the DVD writer shouldn't be the problem (does it actually spend 8 hours writing, or does it spend a lot of time thinking beforehand?) Can you see if you're running out of memory (control+alt+delete to go to Task Manager)?
One thing which slowed things down for me was if the software is set to write the DVD image to a file first (it can be safer, but it's quicker just to burn directly).
Unfortunately most of the software which comes with DVD writers seems to be made so that they can only work with that make/model of DVD writer, I don't know any freely downloadable ones I'm afraid.
