A DVD is already compressed... in MPEG-2. I doubt you'll save much more
space by trying to compress the disk image. If you're wondering
whether you can transcode the entire DVD (menus and all) to a smaller
codec like MPEG-4, that's possible, but I don't think there's any way
to do that and preserve the ability to navigate the DVD menus.
