I need to put a 150 minute DVD onto a 120 minunte DVD, there dosn't seem to be any subitiles or menus that i could reduce/remove. Is there any other way I could shrink it? Also im a complete n00b so explain to me in simple terms or mabee tell me exactly what to do if theres a simple method to shrink it. I was in the DVD Shrink programme & FAQ & it all confused me =(. Could I copy to 2 dvds? Could I burn a region 1 disc to a region 2 or region free? I got the regionfree+CSS trial but it never made my pc's DVD drive region free, the DVD would freeze after the DVD intro. I had to use 1 of my 4 allowed trys to change the region & I was able to watch. Before i installed regionfree+CSS I couldnt even get the intro of the DVD but when I installed I got the intro then it froze. I flashhed my DVD drive too with firmwire to make it region free but it hasnt appeared to have worked because it just says I need to use 1 of my trys, does this just stop the counter from reachinng 0 trys? Or is there something i'm missing.
All help %& time spent reading this is greatly appreciated, Thanx!

If you don't mind losing the menus, just copy the main movie. That always helps with compression ratings.

But I'm big on retaining functioning menus and stuff like that on my dvds.

I know you can split it to two discs but I'm unsure if you can keep functioning menus (I doubt it though).

Regardless, the guide there should really help.
