squeeze the DVD

[exon]

I have created a multi-angle DVD folder on my hard drive using Pinnacle Impression.. The files total about 7G.. How can I easily squeeze/recompress the files to fit on one 4.5G DVD-R? I've used DVD Shrink before, but it is looking for some "*.IFO" file or something that apparently Impression didn't create..

Thanks

IFO file is a requirement for DVD. Which authoring app did you use?

All Authoring apps should create the neccessary files for a complaint dvds. These include VOB, IFO, BUP etc.

I used Pinnacle Impression.. It was the only app on a PC I could find that can do multiple angles.. I normally use Sony DVD Architect, but it doesn't support multi-angle..

Here is the directory strucure:

It's like a final step has been missed that takes the completed bits and pieces from the various directoris and compiles them into a DVD in the video_TS directory. Much of it is there, but it is not complete or useable yet.
