    Just got done converting the movie Sahara from xvid/.avi format using The Film Machine and now the converted dvd files are to big to fit on a 4.7 GB dvd. The Dvd files total 4.44 GB. what is the best way to reduce the file size? is there an easy way to edit out the intro and credits to save space? I've got roughly a total of 35-40 seconds that i can take out and not affect the movie. Any ideas? this is the first time ive run into this problem

    Same, DVDShrink, it is free. You can also use Nero Recode2 if you have Nero program.
