I dont know (not testet yet) if it can reduce the number of DVDs (you can also increment value of DiskSliceSize directive), however you can try

Use this script (small changes have been made) now the request of desktop icon shortcut appears only on xp system,instead on win 7/vista the installer uses game explorer.

This should get it down to 3 discs with only removing the intros to the other languages. I may recode some of the files as well to see what can be done.

There is only 136 MB of data in the levelpacks directory for french(the only non-english language in there it seems) so there's not much that can be done in there.
Upping the diskslicksize to 1550000000 will almost fill a DVD5 ( 4.7GB ). whats the size of your FMV folder. ( recompressed / downsize all videos to 60% ends up at ~850mb )

peter the levelpacks folder (presently at 16.6GB ) can be compressed before/during the inno setup using freearc and it will take them down to 3.76GB.
Just then need to add the unpacking procedure at the end of installation. Which would in effect take a 4DVD5 repack down to a 2xDVD5 repack.

I replaced the following with blank bik files:

Aspyr.bik
FMV-CineBlock_01_DE-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-CineBlock_01_ES-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-CineBlock_01_FR-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-CineBlock_01_IT-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-GoldGuy-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-GoldGuy_DE-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-GoldGuy_ES-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-GoldGuy_FR-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-GoldGuy_IT-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-MarketingSizzle_Demo.bik
TheWay_4x3_H264_1280x1024.bik

The FMV folder is 6.15 GB without recompressing any videos. I ran a few tests and they can be reduced in size by 50% without seeing any visible degradation of the video(keeping the original resolution).

I compiled the script using fast compression and it comes up 100 MB over 3 DVDs. In order to fit the Support folder another 430 MB need to be saved(easily done if one compresses the video files and may be possible if ultra compression is used as is for a 3 disc conversion). I'll recompress them and see what they come out as(will take a while though).

You can IF you wanted to get rid of all the extra language bik files which will save a ton of room. also the directx folder just delete everything except the exe file ( will skip right over installing directx then. )

These are the only language files that matter for those who want them:
FMV-CineBlock_01_DE-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-CineBlock_01_ES-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-CineBlock_01_FR-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik
FMV-CineBlock_01_IT-WMV9_HD_STEREO.bik

The rest that I replaced are logos or ads.

I reran the compile using ultra compression as well as the blanked out bik files with diskslicesize=1560000000 and ended up with 4.35 GB discs and about 850 MB free on the third disc(plenty of space for the support folder).

I'm curious about how you used freearc to compress the levelpacks folder(settings used). I tried but it wasn't compressing even close to what you ended up with for some reason(probably my inexperience with the program).

But when install on 2xDVD9, It's no problem.

However Thank you for your kindness.
yes you first have to install it from 2xdvd9 THEN use peters conversion to make it 4xdvd5. Replace what he has in red with where its installed in your system, Then run inno to recompile it which will be easier for you to make 4dvd5's.

I've been able to get it to 2xDVD5's by reencoding the bik files and compressing the levelpacks folder with freearc at the highest compression, but I have a few problems with the script.

1. I'm running Windows XP and I don't get any option for start menu shortcuts. Is it simply changing DisableProgramGroupPage=yes to DisableProgramGroupPage=no?

2. The uninstaller fails to uninstall all of the files(this is by design), however I would like it to uninstall everything in the folder(or at least the LevelPacks Dir as it's quite large). I'm guessing the command should look something like this: DelTree('{app}\LevelPacks', True, True, True); but I have no idea where to put it in your script.

3. For some reason at the end of the install the navigation part of the setup(where the finish button is etc) moves part way out of the screen to the bottom right. Not a deal breaker by any means as it's movable but I'm curious as to why it does that.

4. AWL_Release.dll needs to be in the same directory as SWTFU_Autorun.exe or it doesn't start(it gives an error stating that it can't find AWL_Release.dll but that's an easy fix).

Only the desktop icon is created as the original installer does,however if you want XP start menu shortcuts :
Code:
[Setup]
DefaultGroupName=Aspyr\Star Wars The Force Unleashed
[Icons]

Name: {userdesktop}\Star Wars - The Force Unleashed; Filename: {app}\SWTFU Launcher.exe; WorkingDir: {app}; Tasks: desktopicon;
Name: {group}\Star Wars - The Force Unleashed; Filename: {app}\SWTFU Launcher.exe; WorkingDir: {app}; check: CheckOsVer();
Name: {group}\{cm:UninstallProgram,Star Wars - The Force Unleashed}; Filename: {uninstallexe}; WorkingDir: {app}; check: CheckOsVer();
delete the line DisableProgramGroupPage=yes
the default value for this directive is No

After you compressed levelpacks folder do not delete it, replace its contents with dummy files and then compile the script.

its XP issue, on vista/win 7 the FinishedPage is at the center of the screen, however use the attached script.
