DVDShrink DVD9 to 2 DVD5?

May be a weird question, but I've once read (well, actually I think I've read it ) that DVDShrink is able to convert a DVD9 into two seperate DVD5 and keep the menu structure. Since I'm using MacOSX (and only being able to use windows in a virtual machine) I have no method of doing a short test.
So, does anybody know if this is true? Because if it is possible, then there wouldn't be any reeconding involved, so even I could use this (in a virtual machine). Basicly I don't want to ruin some of the wonderful preservations and edits I can find here by compressing them to DVD5.

What it can do is either compress the MPEG further so that it does fit on a DVD5, or leave the compression the same, thus requiring burning to a DVD9. I don't know how the layer break would be affected by this, but I believe this is pretty much what you want, right? Just select a straight copy, rather than reauthoring.

What I want, is not a further compression, but a splitting of the DVD9 into 2 (two!) DVD5.
