2 DVD movies into single DVD-R (4.7Gb)

Hi -
I hope you don't mind this reply - I can't really answer your question, but I was hoping you could help me. It seems you've got a good grasp on how to rip and burn DVD movies, and my question is related to yours. I'm a newbie at this. I'm trying to fit a movie on a single 4.7 GB DVD-R. I used SmartRipper to rip all the files. I then played back the individual .VOB files w/ PowerDVD to figure out which actually contained the movie. So I removed the extra .VOB files, and still had 6.7 GB of files, which won't fit. Here's where I'm stuck. . . .

You said you ripped your movie twice and it reduced it in size, taking out the extra audio tracks, etc. that you don't need.

How do I do this? How do I identify the audio track I want to keep from the ones I want to take out?

Then, do I need to use .INF editing tools to fix the .INF files? If so, can you recommend one? I've searched for INFEdit.exe, but cannot find it to download.

Do I need to include all the .INF files and .BUP files along with the .VOB files in the video_ts folder when I burn the movie?

Well, I hope you reply, and sorry I couldn't help you.

Thanks, shaggyd
